The Spiroscout is a GPS-enabled inhaler designed to track the location, dates and times of your inhaler use. The idea behind the Spiroscout from Asthmapolis is that by using [GPS technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geohealth), doctors can more closely track what causes asthma attacks and where. Imagine being able to get an update on your smartphone telling you to avoid walking down a certain street during wintertime because the flowers lining it emit [pollen that causes asthma attacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pollen-wise). The Spiroscout inhalers are currently not available, but Asthmapolis has developed a [smartphone app](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patient-monitoring-technology) that lets you track where and when your asthma outbreaks occur. Freedom from asthma attacks is closer than you think. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Gps-enabled Inhalers:** Developing inhalers with GPS technology would allow patients and doctors to better track asthma attacks and find patterns, leading to more targeted and effective treatment options. - **Smartphone-based Asthma Tracking:** In addition to inhalers, smartphone apps that allow for tracking of asthma outbreaks can aid in personalized care and preventative measures for those with asthma. - **Location-based Treatment Recommendations:** With GPS-enabled inhalers and asthma tracking apps, location-based data can be used to recommend personalized treatment options and preventative measures for individuals with asthma. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Healthcare:** The healthcare industry can utilize GPS-enabled inhalers and asthma tracking apps to provide more personalized and effective treatments for individuals with asthma. - **Pharmaceuticals:** Pharmaceutical companies can invest in the development of GPS-enabled inhalers with more targeted treatment options for patients with asthma. - **Mobile Technology:** Mobile technology companies can create or improve existing smartphone apps that allow for tracking of asthma outbreaks and location-based recommendations for preventative care. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Lung Health-Tracking Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airpen-spirometer.md) - [Lung Health Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/respira.md) - [Noninvasive Breathing Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-breath-analysis.md) - [Digitized Medication Inhalers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mae-inhaler.md) - [Asthma Support Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asthma-friend.md) - [Wearable Breathing Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alveos-one.md) - [Local Pollen Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pollen-count-tracker.md) - [Wearer-Analyzing Respirators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ebcare-mask.md) - [Sleep Cycle Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/respiratory-health-powerplug.md)
