Gather data with asthma inhaler
The idea is to create the WiFi and GPS enabled inhalers to record and send data about the location and time of asthma attacks to a central computer, creating geographical records of asthma attacks.
The data gathered by the inhaler will have two main benefits. It will enable patients and their doctors to analyze inhaler user patterns, and the location information will help identify areas of asthma attacks. This could lead to a better understanding of asthma triggers as well as an understanding of the air quality in given locations.
