Wearable Device to Keep Track of Respiratory Tract Diseases for Future Diagnosis

Abstract

We are living in generations in which the human was exposed to an unhealthy environment and with unhealthy habits resulting in respiratory issues most of the cases the eventual cause is fatal. Diseases like Chronic Obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has no initial symptoms when the disease is at its serious stage the symptoms can be realized due to this character’s proper treatments that cannot be given to the victim at the proper time. In most fatal cases the victims were dead only due to the improper treatment this is because the history of the smoking frequency and exposure of the victim to the polluted environment is unknown by the doctor. For the proper treatment of the patient, the histories like Coughing, Smoking, breath frequencies could help. Environmental parameters like Atmospheric pressure, chemicals such as diesel fumes, may lead to the Respiratory issue. Even before the treatment process, the victim could change the environmental exposure and Smoking habits so the serious condition can be avoided. Considering these facts, we came up with a device that could Monitor the harmful gases and environmental pressure the exposed to and Importantly the Breathing rate of the patient can be monitored. Their smoking habit rate and coughing rate can be used as the historical data for future treatment and for changing the habit and workplace environment.
