Automated Device for Asthma Monitoring
Completed
Conditions studied: Asthma
In brief
This study will examine an innovative strategy to monitor asthma symptoms by using existing technology to develop a non-invasive device for monitoring asthma symptoms in adolescents. Using an iPod as a platform, and current sound data analysis techniques, a prototype device will be developed that will directly monitor the chosen parameters of asthma symptoms, including wheezing, coughing and activity levels. This small non-invasive device will be continuously carried by or placed in close proximity to the adolescent on a daily basis. It is hypothesized that such a device would be acceptable to adolescents and would lend accuracy and objectivity to symptom assessment; something that existing monitoring strategies have yet to achieve. It will also stimulate the adolescents' partnership in asthma self-monitoring and ultimately lead to effective asthma management.
