Open-red

Open-red is a citizen-science platform that turns your phone into a portable measurement station. Pair it with specialized Bluetooth devices and contribute your data to open scientific projects about the environment.

WHAT CAN YOU MEASURE?
• Ionizing radiation with RadiaCode: dose rate (µSv/h) and counts per minute (CPM).
• Light pollution with Opple LightMaster 3: illuminance in lux.

KEY FEATURES

• Simple Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) pairing with supported devices.
• Geolocated track recording: walk, bike or drive while your phone logs every measurement.
• Background service so you don't lose data when the screen is locked.
• Interactive maps with your readings and the community's.
• Real-time visualization with gauges and charts.
• Open, exportable data: your contributions feed a collaborative map.

OPEN AND COLLABORATIVE SCIENCE

Open-red is an open project. Every track you record is added to the global community map and helps us understand how background radiation or night-sky brightness varies across your area. Data is indicative and depends on the sensor, calibration and measurement conditions.
