Abstract: Embodiments generally describe systems and methods for using mobile drones as mobile access points for a mesh network, particularly in use for firefighters, or other first responders. Embodiments described herein provide a self-healing mesh network for improved wireless communication between the first responders and the external monitors. The self-healing mesh network may comprise mechanism drones operable to be deployed around a building or emergency area, wherein the drones can act as routers capable of automatically adjusting their position (thereby healing the wireless network) based on the signal needs for each individual located within the building.

Abstract: Embodiments relate generally to systems and methods for detecting harmful substances in the ambient air around a user, such as particulate matter and toxic gases, and communicating this information to the user and other interested parties. In certain areas, the ambient air in a city or area may sometimes contain harmful gases and/or particulates. People may be encouraged to wear and/or carry certain PPE devices, such as masks, to protect themselves from the harmful substances in the air. However, a user may not always know when they are breathing in a harmful substance and should be wearing a mask. Also, a method may comprise activating an alarm to user to when environment is polluted, and alerting the user when to wear the respiratory mask. Additionally, a system may provide information on where a user may be able to obtain a mask or other PPE, based on the detected harmful substance.
