Whare Hauora: sensors to help your home health

From Sunday Morning, 9:32 am on 4 October 2020

Whare Hauroa is an organisation that measures the healthiness of homes by using sensors to record temperature, humidity and dew point index. Kaiwhakahaere (CEO) of Whare Hauora Hīria Te Rangi was moved to join the organisation when her own Nan died of pneumonia. Hīria joins the show to discuss the issues of housing, data collection from a tikanga Māori perspective, and finding out her long-lost biological father was Wellington's Ben Hana, aka Blanket Man.
