Looking to know the level of radioactivity around you and assess your exposure to ionising radiation? Thanks to this application, and a compatible sensor, you can measure radioactivity. You can also contribute to a citizen science project, by helping to create a collaborative data base of radioactivity measurements in the environment: OpenRadiation (published under an Open Database License). You will then be able to share your measurements using the application and view the data in the application or on the website www.openradiation.org. Create an account on the website www.openradiation.org, and obtain a compatible sensor (see the list of compatible sensors at www.openradiation.org). Activate Bluetooth under your mobile, configure your sensor to measure radioactivity, and publish your measurements. If you do not have a compatible sensor, you can always enter your measurements manually on the website or via the application. OpenRadiation currently brings together the following scientific and academic partners: IFFO-RME - training network in major educational risks -, IRSN - public expert in research and expertise on nuclear and radiological risks -, Planète Sciences – association contributing to the scientific and technical culture of young people - and SORBONNE UNIVERSITE Fablab - digital fabrication and rapid prototyping workshop, open to students, staff and the general public.

About

FrigoSense

Features
Read full description

FrigoSense turns your fridge, freezer or cold room into a smart, monitored space. Pair a FrigoSense device over Bluetooth, connect it to Wi-Fi, and watch your storage conditions in real time from your phone. WHAT IT DOES - Live monitoring of temperature, humidity and air quality inside your cold storage. - Early spoilage and freshness insights based on gas and temperature trends. - Push notifications when conditions drift — temperature excursions, a door left open, or early signs of spoilage — so you can act before food is lost. - Simple Bluetooth setup: add a new device and get it online in minutes. WHO IT'S FOR - Home users who want to keep food fresh and cut waste. - Cafes, restaurants, shops and small cold-storage operators who need to know the moment something goes wrong. HOW IT WORKS FrigoSense measures the air inside your storage — not the food itself — and combines temperature history with gas signals to flag risk early. It is a monitoring and early-warning tool, not a food-safety or pathogen test: always use your own judgement about whether food is safe to eat. Requires a FrigoSense account and at least one FrigoSense device.
