  • Abstract
    This paper describes the enhancement of ultrasonic nebulizer that is being made for monitoring asthma attacks frequency and dynamics of its treatment. The improvement is presented by intercalation of an indicator that registers time, duration of an attack and dosage of an inhaled medicament. The reason why the research is regarded to children below the age of 3 years is that nebulizer therapy is the only one they can use, unlike adults, who use nebulizers on prescription (using jet sprays through the day). This fact allows us to track all cases of asthma attacks.
