Asthma is a chronic disease involving the airways in the lungs cause the breathing problem of wheezing, Shortness of breath, Chest tightness or pain. It is a prolonged lung disease breathlessness that occurs several times a day or in a week in individuals. Asthma was diagnosed by the spirometer it’s a device measure the pressure of exhale air from the lungs. The patients who had the asthma problem mostly they affected by the dust and pollution in the air which makes the inner walls of lungs becomes swollen, so that the patient takes less air to his/her lungs which feels the shortness in breath and leads to the wheezing, also leads the patient to die if he/she not taken any treatment. This disease is common among children, and the number of deaths in children is greater than those in the elders. According to WHO, more than 235 million people are suffering from asthma. This disease occurs in both low-income and high-income countries, while more than 80% of deaths occur in low-income countries. According to estimates released in 2016 by WHO, over 383,000 deaths occur because of asthma in 2015. Air pollution and smoking are the core causes for the problem. Due to the absence of instant help, elder people suffer most and may experience stress. Still, no widespread work has been done about cloud-assisted Healthcare IoT-driven framework for asthma patients.
We have demonstrated that our smart electronic dose counter is used to record the times number of doses and taken times by actuating pressurized metered dose inhaler. We also provide an inhaler APP to help patients track their medications history, and it also reminds the patients when the patients forget to use their inhalers on their medication time. We believe that our low-cost smart inhaler counter with the inhaler APP can help manage adherence in asthma patients, it could be lowered healthcare cost and saved lives.
