Abstract Crowdsourcing systems offer numerous advantages for acquiring data, which can contribute to the development of modern concepts such as Smart Cities. Air quality in urban areas has been identified as a crucial theme and requirement, towards ideal city of the future that can be adapted upon its citizens' needs and comfort. Thus, besides the sensing infrastructure, a complementary system must be implemented in order to enable the public authority and municipality awareness over citizens' personalised and subjective input, in a cost efficient way that can be easily upscaled. In this work, we present HealthAir, an mHealth application alongside its subsystems (namely a web application and a smartwatch version), that aims to increase and complement the sensing capacity of a Smart City, with respect to the air quality-wise health of the citizens. This is achieved based on questionnaires and surveys approved by the health community, and services and features that implement a bidirectional interaction between the system and the users. Finally, users' data and air quality measurements from a third party platform are combined and presented for the case study realization and demonstration. © 2023 IEEE.
