From the Amazon to Indonesia, wildfires are occurring more frequently and in greater size and intensity. During a wildfire, firefighters provide critical aid to those at risk. But how do we ensure they stay safe in these conditions?

Prometeo was created to protect firefighters from the cumulative effect of the smoke and toxic substances that they inhale during wildfires.

Design Thinking workshops were conducted with firefighters and stakeholders to understand their needs, which mostly revolved around collecting data and displaying it transparently

After consolidating the features for the MVP, we fleshed out the sitemap for the command center's dashboard

The dashboard, reading values from the Prometeo sensor in real time, allows the command center to direct firefighters away from toxic fumes

The interfaces were built using IBM's Carbon Design System, with a few tweaks here and there to fit our users' needs.

The AI-based platform uses IoT devices to track firefighters’ exposure to the toxins around them, allowing them to be pulled from the field before their health is compromised.

Through field tests in 2020 and 2021, the technology has incorporated user feedback and anonymized data to tweak and improve the solution end to end

The project has since become open source and been renamed Pyrrha
