The aim of our team over the next three semesters is to create a prototype of an asthma
inhaler (or a device attached to an asthma inhaler) capable of communicating the time,
date, and location where the inhaler was used, as well as to design the software to
accompany the data. This project is important in the tracking of allergy and asthma
symptoms, outbreak control, and general health observations with respect to
populations in certain areas of the United States and, ultimately, the entire globe.
Surveillance to this point has been limited to the delayed analysis of emergency
department visits and hospitalizations for relatively severe episodes.
