Faith Florez is the creator of Calor, an app that alerts farm workers about their health in hot climates. In 2018, Apple used the app to showcase its Apple Watch health based capabilities. Notifications from the app educate workers on what to eat, drink, and wear when they are preparing for their shifts. In the event of an emergency, the app also functions as an emergency hotline to 911 should users require medical attention in isolated areas of work.
Faith was inspired to create the app when she heard stories passed down from her grandfather about field work and the negative impact it had on the family's health. The third-generation Mexican-American is founder of the Latina Legacy Foundation and was honored as a Three Dot Dash 2019 Global Teen Leader.
