EMaware

EMaware is a technology platform designed to monitor and manage electromagnetic emissions and human exposure in built environments. It combines a distributed network of sensors with analytics software to help organizations comply with safety standards, optimize equipment performance, and reduce electromagnetic interference risk.

The system comprises hardware sensors that measure electric and magnetic fields across multiple frequency bands, edge devices for local processing, and cloud-based tools for visualization, reporting, and alerting. Data are calibrated to align with commonly cited exposure guidelines, including ICNIRP and IEEE C95.1, and can be customized for regional regulations.

Applications span industrial facilities, laboratories, data centers, healthcare environments, and telecom sites. EMaware supports asset management, incident response, and spatial mapping of emission sources, enabling operators to identify hotspots and track changes over time.

Development and governance: EMaware emerged from a collaboration among safety engineers, researchers, and software developers. It has progressed through multiple release cycles, offering APIs for integration with building management systems and occupational health platforms, as well as optional open modules for research use.

Reception and impact: Proponents cite improved risk assessment, audit readiness, and data-driven decision making. Critics emphasize the importance of rigorous calibration, ongoing validation, and strong data privacy controls in sensor deployments.
