SOCIAL INNOVATION

Evidence 1.

The main author of the solution, also a founder of TreeOTek has a son prone to tuberculosis since birth. Using air purifiers to deal with particulate matters was a must despite the uncomfortable experience due to the need to replace filters every three months, which, apart from being costly and inconvenient, generated unnecessary hazardous wastes from the disposed filters. Any delay in replacement which usually occurred when the father was not at home would inevitably result in the boy being hospitalized.

The boy was actually the first client of TreeOTek and after 4 years using the air purifier created by his own father and his friends he grew up healthy as any other normal kids

Evidence 2.

In 2022 a leading technology company from the US set up its office in the most modern building in Hanoi. After the contractor completed all civil works, the regional office of the company sent some specialists to inspect the works and the specialists discovered that the air quality in the new office is below the standard applicable in the regional office in Singapore. Among the inadequate indexes were VOC and HCHO, which cannot be handled by ordinary air purifiers with HEPA filters. The contractor finally contacted TreeOTek to bring in several AIRemedy air purifiers and in 2 weeks, the air quality in the new office was in compliance with the Singaporean standards. Only then the contractor’s works were accepted and the technology company let their staff move in and work in the new office.

Evidence 3

The parents of a TreeOTek’s client were paralyzed and they had to stay in the room without any movements. With times the air in the room were condensed and overwhelmed with odors, causing a big issue to both the parents and their caretakers. After 1 month using AIRemedy devices, all annoying odors were removed and the parents’ health have become more stabilized.
