Abstract
This paper describes a prototype for asthma irritant monitoring system (AIM) that can be used by asthma patients. The AIM is a compact device that senses the environment around the patient for different irritants in order to detect any signs of asthma attacks or potentially unhealthy environments. Hence, asthma patients are able to know whether the environment around them is healthy or not, allowing them to take appropriate action. In addition, the device offers the capability of sending the data to the physician to follow the patient case and a display indicating the environment condition around the patients. Furthermore, the AIM displays data reordered in the daily tests, allowing the patient and the physician to check the progress from previous days. Finally, the AIM device is aligned with the medical requirements as per physicians’ and telemedicine specialists’ recommendations; the experiments carried out on asthma patients demonstrated the effectiveness and sustainable use of the AIM device.
