Founder and CEO of Aroma Technology, Simon Vicari, developed NEXTToMe after having traveled numerous times for business and leisure and wondering whether there would be health and safety risks for him and his family after being in different environments.

A healthy population is the backbone of a sustainable economy, and we're working alongside Yale University on a project aimed to reduce smoking in mothers," says Vicari. "Creating the NEXTToMe wearable device was a way to promote and improve a healthy well-being and lifestyle for everyone. The data collected will be made available through the NEXTToMe app available for all users. This data will become the basis of a very effective lifestyle choices for the community and urban management and planning of the city."
