For too long the world has been in a WAIT state when it comes to climate change and Earth temperatures rising. WATI is designed to address the urgent need for localised heat awareness in the face of intensifying urban heat islands, more frequent and prolonged heat waves, and climate change. Existing weather apps lack ground-level temperature precision, and fitness wearables and mobile devices do not track ambient environmental temperature.

WATI fills this gap by combining wearable sensing and EO thermal and other data to deliver real-time, user-specific heat alerts and adaptive route guidance. It empowers individuals to make safer decisions during heatwaves, reduces exposure risk, and promotes daily climate resilience. Through crowdsourced data, WATI also contributes to high-resolution urban heat maps, supporting researchers, urban planners, and policymakers in designing cooler, greener, more liveable cities. WATI is not just a wearable, it’s a tool for proactive, informed urban living in a world faced with rapidly rising temperatures and climate crisis. Keep an eye for what comes next!
