  1. Vivergy/ Big Data Utah Final Competition Kevin Kononenko, Founder and CEO September, 2014

  2. What is the problem here? Parents care deeply about their children’s health. But they do not realize energy consumption affects their children’s health through air pollution Children in Salt Lake City breathe in about 10 cigarettes of air pollution over the course of the year. This is equal to living with a smoker for 4 months out of the year. An average Salt Lake City area classroom has an estimated 4 children with asthma, who are especially sensitive to air pollution.

  3. What is Vivergy? Vivergy is a web tool for visualizing your impact on local health due to energy consumption. After filling out a questionnaire in each of the 4 categories, you get a personalized score, and suggestions on how to reduce it.

  4. What is Vivergy? We are focusing first on childhood asthma attacks + unhealthy air. This is our “Groups” feature. Once you sign up with a group, you can compare yourself to others and see how your impacts add up.

  5. Three Pillars of the Vivergy Platform

  6. How can we help people in Utah? • Our groups feature and geofencing allow us to report data from only the nearest air monitoring station, and help you visualize how your actions add up with others in your direct vicinity. • We hope to sign up a bunch of local groups in a given area, and create a focused push on their individual community- this is the idea of creating a scale that people can understand, rather than global scale. • We provide actionable steps on an individual basis, customized for each user.

  7. What is our innovation? • Proprietary algorithms that link energy consumption amounts to estimated health impacts (trade secret) • Unprecedented granularity on the actions of others around you, data insights on how positive actions add up. • We keep all the science on the back end- we present data to users in metrics that are easy to understand. • We are talking about air pollution when everyone else is talking about climate change

  8. What data sources are we using (and to what extent?

  9. What are we making open source? • Currently- We just have the cigarettes and months of residence with a smoker calculations available via an API. Anybody can plug in their data in terms of PM 2.5 and get an estimate in these more understandable measurements. • If you need it- we can create an API for the entire Vivergy system, so that you can plug in your energy consumption data and find out the reduction in V Score.
