Quality Leads the Way

”Corona virus and other viruses, as well as bacteria, have a significant impact on the well-being of people, but we at Air0 look at the air quality in a wider context. There are also multiple other pollutants in the indoor air which affect our health and reduce the performance of athletes. By starting this collaboration, we can now offer our know-how and technology to Jokerit to optimize the safety and performance during training and games” says Valle Kulmala, the CEO of Air0.

Locker rooms of Jokerit and the visiting team are being purifier with the new Air0 PURE600 air purifiers. At the same time, the air quality is being monitored to verify that it stays at the desired level. Both the air quality monitors and the purifiers are connected to Air0 cloud based system, so that the players, coaches and the whole team taking care of the players, as well as, Air0 can follow the air quality and conditions in real time. Coaches can also utilize the collected data afterwards via different analyses.

”For us the well-being and optimal conditions of the athletes are a primary concern. We went through several different alternatives but ended up choosing Air0’s solution, since the reliability of the technology and products was the most important thing. Also, the possibility to combine the new solution as a part of the daily life and development of the athletes was very important. Naturally we also want to guarantee the best possible conditions for the visiting teams”, summarizes Jukka Räisänen, the Director of Partnerships at Jokerit.
