University of Rochester
posted on 06/15/2010
A device to aid in non-invasive, continuous monitoring of asthma symptoms.
Suggested Uses
Automated Device for Asthma Monitoring (ADAM) is a device system that facilitates non-intrusive, continuous, valid and reliable monitoring of asthma symptoms. Asthma afflicts nearly 24 million in the US with 3,613 deaths /100k. There are 300 million asthmatics, and growing, worldwide. Healthcare cost for asthma is about $11.5 billion in the U.S.
Advantages
Not being dependant on patient technique or compliance overcomes major difficulties faced when using other monitoring devices. Continuous automatic symptom monitoring, in real-life environments, with selective capturing of identified parameters as well as activity levels would provide more accurate monitoring, treatment and management of asthma.
