AirCare provides a mobile application focused on delivering real-time air quality, pollen, and UV index data to its users. The company originated as a local activist project in North Macedonia in 2014, founded by Gorjan Jovanovski. Initially launched to display government air pollution data, the app's revelations about poor air quality spurred citizen action, leading to governmental policy changes. Jovanovski, a climate and weather data expert with a background as a technical team manager at Booking.com, was recognized as a Young Entrepreneur by the United Nations in 2020 for his environmental work. The team also includes co-founder Dragan Gelevski, who serves as CTO.
The business operates as a B2C entity, targeting health-conscious individuals, allergy sufferers, and anyone living in areas prone to pollution or wildfires. AirCare's core product is a free-to-use mobile app available on Android and iOS. The app aggregates data from a wide array of sources, including government agencies like the EPA, satellite imagery from NASA, and volunteer sensor networks such as Purple Air, to calculate a localized Air Quality Index (AQI). Key features include detailed breakdowns of pollutants like PM2.5, PM10, and O3, forecasts for pollen and UV levels, and tracking of wildfire hotspots. This information helps users make informed decisions about their outdoor activities and potential exposure to airborne contaminants.
Revenue is generated through a freemium model. While the core functionalities are free, the company offers a 'PRO' subscription that provides an ad-free experience and unlocks premium features. These paid features include home screen widgets, push notifications for changes in air quality levels, Apple Watch support, and extended data forecasts. Additionally, AirCare offers business solutions through a REST Data API, in-app advertising placements for the free version, and custom data solutions for other businesses, leveraging the data from its parent entity, EarthCare.ai.
