This study implements a novel integrated care model combining continuous IAQ monitoring, advanced lung function assessment using oscillometry, digital adaptive case management, and predictive modelling for early detection and management of exacerbations. These interventions are designed to identify environmental and clinical triggers of acute events, optimise personalized care, and reduce unplanned hospitalisations in high risk patients.

The aim of this study was to systematically review the available evidence regarding the sources, determinants and concentrations of indoor air pollutants in a set of scenarios under study in K-HEALTHinAIR project. To this end, a systematic review was performed to review the available studies published between the years 2013–2023, for several settings (schools, homes, hospitals, lecture halls, retirement homes, public transports and canteens), conducted in Europe, where sources and determinants of the indoor pollutants concentrations was assessed. 

Indoor air quality (IAQ) significantly impacts human health, particularly in enclosed spaces where people spend most of their time. This study evaluates the performance of low-cost IAQ sensors, focusing on their ability to measure carbon dioxide (CO2) and particulate matter (PM) under real-world conditions.

This study aims to investigate the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emission pattern, intensity, and profile of nine commercially untreated and treated wood panels commonly used in indoor environments, focusing on how wood type and surface treatments influence emission characteristics.

Identifying tobacco smoke exposure in indoor environments is critical for public health, especially in vulnerable populations. In this study, we developed and validated a machine learning model to detect smoking households based on indoor air quality (IAQ) data collected using low-cost sensors.

Indoor air quality (IAQ) is a well demonstrated actionable determinant of health status. Low-cost sensors (LCS) could enable patient-centred assessments, but real-world clinical utility is uncertain. This study evaluates the feasibility, usability and clinical indications of home IAQ monitoring with LCS.

This study investigated time-resolved VOC and VVOC accumulation concentrations from untreated pine, spruce, aspen, and oak, representing wood species commonly used in Norway.

This study evaluated long-term IAQ dynamics in different hospital microenvironments using continuous low-cost sensor monitoring combined with targeted chemical characterization of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and specific aldehydes.

This study aimed to characterize, based on long-term, continuous measurements in 23 classrooms, indoor carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations in Polish schools, to identify diurnal and seasonal patterns, and to assess ventilation adequacy relative to international guidelines.

This study introduces a comprehensive dataset from a controlled experimental room in Croatia, leveraging a multi-instrumental approach to monitor IAQ across various real-life scenarios.

This expert review aims to describe the most important indoor air determinants affecting health, and present the IDEAL cluster, which comprises seven EU-funded scientific projects on the topic of IAQ and human health.
