Import air quality data

Hay! First off, fantastic app! Thank you so much! Then my suggestion; adding air quality to the health measurements. I am doing this myself at the moment. I am trying to find out what influences me and how. Pollen, PM 10 or 2.5 of ozone etc. I am using air matters which works for me and is a global thing. I think some of them make me really hazy in my head and then it is difficult to remember to fill out everything. So it would be nice to easily be able to link symptoms to air quality at that time. Also because I can’t check it at night and so can’t tell if it influences my sleep.

Thank you again!!

    Humidity and weather might also be nice to add in here

    Yes, I’m currently using the “Air: Air pollution around you” app by Urban Android (the person who made Sleep as android) and that provides reliable info for my local area. Also, in the UK, Worcester uni provide an API should you guys be looking for one: https://www.worcester.ac.uk/about/academic-schools/school-of-science-and-the-environment/science-and-the-environment-research/national-pollen-and-aerobiology-research-unit

    I think their API might just be for pollen though but I’m sure that’s useful too :)

    Terrific idea! This would be really useful for me, too.

    Yes; AQI (PM 2.5) is standard for various pollutants; pollen count is separate (and most pollen count monitors also note the top 3 current pollen types). I could really use an app that lets me track both AQI and pollen counts, and correlate them with symptoms (asthma and hay fever are pretty obvious; I’m interested in whether there’s a correlation with symptoms like migraine and brain fog).

    Yes! I currently am tracking with Pollen Wise and a barometric pressure app to see if pollens and pressure affect my migraines. I would love to see in here because then is have an idea of offer symptoms like mood and sleep.

    Agreed. My migraine app tracks these. If Bearable could add these things I could stop using two different apps to track any migraine symptoms.

    AQI has a huge impact on mood and health — would love this

    This is one of the things I’m looking for in a health tracking app. My asthma flares up at different times of the year, and it would be great to correlate this with pollen count/type and AQI or any other environmental factors.
