North Carolina State University‘s Veena Misra is developing a wearable that detects asthma triggers.
The device monitors environmental factors, such as ozone, carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide levels, as well as vital signs including heart rate and hydration. Sensor data is transmitted wirelessly to a phone or physician’s office. The intention is to guide people away from environmental conditions that exacerbate asthma and related respiratory issues.
