Hope for asthma patients

Home-monitoring system aims to improve understanding of disease progression

n automated home monitoring system for asthma and other respiratory diseases is being developed that could also support people at risk of Covid-19 . The device helps experts understand more about symptoms, and can help identify those who need care before their condition becomes critical. Albus Health has developed a small tabletop device that automatically monitors a range of symptoms and metrics at home, which could help prediction of preventable emergencies such as asthma attacks to enable patients to self-manage their condition. The passive, non-contact and ambient device works without patients or their families having to do or wear anything, making it suitable for people of all ages regardless of their technical ability or geographical location, and does not rely on patients or their families to recognise, remember or report the symptoms.
