ArcheoRadon is more than just a radon detector — it is a complete, real-time safety system designed specifically for archaeologists and underground field professionals.
While traditional radon testing methods are slow, stationary, and designed for homes, our solution is portable, wearable, and built for active exploration environments like caves, excavation sites, and mines.
A wearable Radon Detector that detects the presence of radon, continuously monitors air quality, and alerts archaeologists when radon levels exceed safe limits. Connected to an app for instant team-wide notifications, it ensures safety in remote underground sites while raising awareness and saving lives.
Our innovation combines:
A compact wearable radon detector
Real-time LED, vibration, and sound alerts
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connectivity
A companion mobile app that displays live radon levels
Visual zone indicators (Safe, Caution, Dangerous)
Data tracking and history for awareness and mitigation
Helmet Mounted
Wearable on arms or belts
What truly makes our project innovative is the instant feedback system. If radon levels rise to dangerous levels, the archaeologist does not have to wait for lab results or external testing. The device immediately alerts them so they can evacuate or take protective action.
We also integrated a mobile app that makes the data easy to understand through clear color-coded zones and simple visual displays. This makes the technology accessible not just to experts, but to students, homeowners, rescue personnel, and anyone working in underground environments.
By combining hardware, software, and real-time communication into one unified system, ArcheoRadon transforms radon testing from a delayed process into an active safety solution.
Our project shifts radon detection from passive monitoring to proactive protection.
No existing radon detector does these things:
Multi-person alert
Identifying the person in danger
Recommending the nearest safe zone
Team status board
Works in remote areas
Predictive warnings
