Abstract
Prevalence of asthma, especially in air polluted areas, has dramatically increased. As a result, the demand for a system that is able to predict asthma attacks and monitor a patient´s condition is becoming increasingly important. This paper presents a prototype system that allow asthma´s patients to self-monitor their symptoms condition and manage their conditions accurately, as well as informing the medics in the case of emergency.
