New Device Could Predict Asthma Attacks

                Asthma patients may soon do away with their inhalers as researchers have developed an integrated, wearable system that monitors a user’s environment, heart rate and other physical attributes with the goal of predicting and preventing asthma attacks. They have tested the system in the lab and on a limited number of human subjects for proof of concept demonstration, and have confirmed that all of the sensors work, and that the system accurately compiles the data.
