Innovative Asthma Aids

These Smart Inhalers Gives the User Better Insight About His Environment

— August 7, 2017 — Lifestyle
While many sufferers of respiratory difficulties rely on instinct when it comes to making use of their puffers, these smart inhalers have been designed to better inform. Instead of assuming that a day looks fine enough for comfortable breathing, the Aer Asthma Management System will break down the real risks to advise on dosages.

Abidur Chowdhury has developed a base system to hold the two asthma inhalers that integrates an informative interface. LED lights illuminate the temperature and the time of day, while below displaying updated ratings for the overall air quality, for humidity and for the presence of particulates.

Based on these numbers, the user can make an informed decision about whether or not to administer or carry along one of these sleek-looking puffers. There's even an accompanying emergency inhaler, so compact that can be clipped to a keychain.
