EnviroGo Monitors the Air You Breathe
EnviroGo is a 7-in-1 wearable that monitors UV, air quality, and more, turning environmental data into actionable health insights.
Watching what you eat and getting enough exercise are good ways to stay healthy, but that’s only part of the equation. Have you ever considered other factors, like the quality of the air you breathe or the amount of sunlight you get each day? If not, you may want to consider it, as these factors can be every bit as important as diet and exercise. But realistically, how does one keep tabs on these sorts of things?
A company called MozTech thinks the answer is wearable environmental monitors. They have just created one such device that they call EnviroGo. It is an autonomous 7-in-1 environmental monitor designed to be worn on the wrist or left in your living and working spaces. It is an ESP32-S3-powered system that is capable of continuously monitoring UV exposure, air toxicity (VOCs), temperature, air pressure, humidity, light, and micro-climates.
EnviroGo is small enough to clip onto a bag, wear on a wrist, or slip into a pocket, yet powerful enough to deliver laboratory-grade insight into everyday surroundings. The device is built around continuous sampling, typically every 10 seconds, creating a detailed picture of the conditions that affect health both indoors and outdoors. Whether placed near a sunny window, carried on a commute, or mounted in a bedroom or office, EnviroGo adapts easily thanks to its compact form factor and magnetic mounting options.
The device is equipped with seven distinct sensors. These include high-resolution temperature and humidity sensors for monitoring comfort levels and mold-risk zones, a barometric pressure sensor for tracking altitude and weather changes, and a UV sensor capable of measuring UV Index values and blue-light exposure. An ambient light sensor tracks overall light intensity, which can be used for circadian rhythm insights, while a Sensirion digital VOC sensor detects and quantifies volatile organic compounds associated with poor indoor air quality. A 9-axis MEMS motion sensor rounds out the array, enabling activity correlation and motion-aware logging.
Sensor readings are time-stamped using an onboard real-time clock and stored locally on an SD card, allowing for long-term environmental records. Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity enable synchronization with phones, watches, or cloud services. Over time, the system can learn a personal environmental baseline and analyze historical patterns, such as recurring spikes in VOCs or UV exposure at certain times of day.
MozTech also offers predictive features, where trends and external data—such as weather or UV forecasts—are used to anticipate future conditions. Instead of simply reporting that air quality is declining, EnviroGo can warn users that current trends may lead to unhealthy levels within a specific time window and suggest corrective actions like improving ventilation.
With audible alerts, RGB status lighting, and mobile notifications, EnviroGo aims to make invisible environmental risks visible and actionable. If you are interested, rewards for this Kickstarter campaign currently start at $79.
