Of the 25 million Americans diagnosed with asthma, 10 die each day from the disease. This mortality rate emphasizes the importance of preventing asthma attacks. Providing a way to enhance the patient's ability to read their physiological responses would not only reduce asthma attack hospitalizations and fatalities, but it would also reduce difficulties within daily life. Many of the current devices for monitoring asthma are either unaffordable, unreliable, or not suited for an active lifestyle. This project is designed to provide an alternative asthma monitor for asthmatics of varying lifestyles by minimizing costs and maximizing portability. The team's goals are to create a carbon monoxide (CO) monitoring device that would alert the user before an asthma attack occurs, while maintaining a low cost and being accessible to as many people as possible. All people have different lungs and potentially other medical conditions that would affect measurements of respiratory concentration of carbon monoxide. These statistics and diversities led the group to look for gas environment monitors that could adapt based on reference data from a specific user. physicians, statisticians, and ethics advisors determining the most accurate and successful settings specific. This asthma monitor is useful and affordable for day to day life, it could also provide valuable patient safety information and critical physiological data. Creating and improving this carbon monoxide sensor to meet the needs of asthmatics and asthma physicians could ultimately save lives and improve quality of life.
