With the latest technology, you can keep in touch with friends, browse the Internet, and listen to your favorite songs on one device. But did you know that you can also use a smartphone to manage your health? There are several innovative applications that can monitor your asthma condition, identify what your asthma triggers are, and easily communicate with your doctor.
The latest asthma application
The personal asthma recording system application is being developed by Virginia Commonwealth University and RTI International. This tool, which is part of a health project sponsored by The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, can enable you to combine asthma management activities in your daily activities on smartphones or other portable electronic devices.
Some features include the ability to:
- keep up with your symptoms
- report drug use
- check the level of air pollution
- record your allergy symptoms
Your doctor will see your entry on his computer, and provide an overview of how your asthma is in between visits to the doctor.
Portable sensors identify triggers
Another portable electronic device, from Georgia Tech Research Institute, is a portable sensor that is small in size but has great capabilities. The system continuously measures and records air content, such as temperature, humidity, gas, and other allergens. When you experience asthma symptoms when using this device, you can take notes at that time. Medical technical experts will look at stored data to determine which triggers are exposed to you when asthma attacks. With this portable electronic device, you can properly mark the cause of your asthma, so there is no need to guess the cause of asthma.
The inhaler and GPS system mark your symptoms
Other innovations are inhalers and GPS systems aimed at better identifying triggers for asthma. The project, which is chaired by scientists from the Department of Population Health Sciences at the University of Wisconsin, looks at location (not the air composition as usual) to sharpen the causes of symptoms. When you experience an asthma attack and need to use an inhaler, the GPS will record the location so the doctor can see the pattern of your asthma condition.
What you can do
When visiting your doctor, ask about the asthma treatment device and find out what is appropriate for your situation. With the help of electronic devices and applications for asthma, controlling asthma will be easier.
