Move smarter with wati, the wearable designed to navigate urban heat. wati keeps you cool, hydrated, and always informed of live weather and temperature changes on the go.
Whether you're walking, running, or commuting, wati tracks live outdoor temperatures, monitors your steps, and guides you through the coolest routes via the paired mobile app.
By choosing wati, you join a global crowdsourcing community that refines "cool-route" algorithms and informs future city planning. The app uniquely combines ground-level user data with satellite-based thermal imaging, creating a powerful new layer of climate insight.
WATI addresses the gap in localized heat awareness by providing the ground-level temperature precision that current weather apps and fitness wearables lack.
It moves the world out of a WAIT state on climate change by turning urban navigation into a tool for real-time thermal insight.
Hyper-local Tracking: Measures real-time ambient temperature at ground pedestrian level.
Data Visualisation: Communicates thermal and health metrics through a custom designed UI.
Predictive Analytics: Delivers real-time heat alerts and actionable environmental and health data.
Hybrid Mapping: Merges EO satellite thermal imaging with user-sourced ground data for maximum precision.
Smart Navigation: Identifies ventilated, shaded, and cool-route alternatives via the paired app.
Urban Impact: Crowdsources heat-mapping data to assist city planners in building resilient infrastructure.
01
outdoor athletes and runners -
ideal user group for testing
02
elderly people - heat related mortality increases by 85%
