Abstract
Asthma remains one of the most common respiratory diseases that affect many people all around
the world, however, there is no cure or standard for identifying the causes since it differs for each
person. Certain factors remain constant for most asthmatic patients such as very high or low
temperatures and humidity, smoke, and pollen grains. These conditions are very difficult to detect
unless the patient has the resources which would help with the measurement and detection of these
conditions. Additionally, it is difficult for doctors to determine if the patient would require more
dosages based on their environment when there is no data to work with. This project focuses on
monitoring the environmental conditions of asthmatic patients for effective management and the
development of a dosage counter to keep track of how often their inhaler is used. The data from
the environmental system would be sent to the database and the count from the database counter
would be sent to the patient's device.
