EARLY DETECTION OF

ASTHMA ATTACKS
 WHAT IS ASTHMA?

• Asthma is a chronic lung

disease that inflames and
narrows the airways. Asthma
causes recurring periods of
wheezing (a whistling sound Metin eklemek için
when you breathe), chest tıklayın
tightness, shortness of
breath, and coughing. The
coughing often occurs at
night or early in the
morning.
HEART RATE MONITOR

• WHY DO WE USE?
• Before the asthma attack, our local oxygen saturation is
increased. Therefore, we measure that.
• Hemoglobin looks the value of O2, if O2 is kept or not. That's why
we use the infrared rays to detect rate of blood's O2.
• If blood's color is bright, the level of O2 is higher in blood.
• Abundant oxygenated blood absorbs the sending rays. Then,
amount of passing rays give us the oxygen saturation. In the same
way we measure the heart rate.
BODY TEMPERATURE
WHY?
• Body temperature is one of the
asthma attack symptoms.
• Hypothalamus regulate the
body temperature and
sweating.
• The body loses its heat during
the sweating, respiratory...
• That's why we need to look
body temperature.
HOW?
• If the temperature increase,
also the heart and respiratory
rate will increase. Therefore,
we can use again infrared
rays.
• From absolute zero (0) point,
subjects dissipate energy
which has high temperature.
• This energy is proportional
with temperature.
BEST WATCH FOR EARLY DETECTION
BEST WATCH FOR EARLY DETECTION
WHY?
• Body temperature and heart
rate are very
significant sypmtoms of
asthma attacks. Therefore, we
have to measure them for
early detection.
• The watches are the object
that is directly touching our
skin.
HOW?
• In our watch we use infrared rays,
we can measure body temperature
and heart rate early.
• Down side of the watch we put the
ray.
• Before your attack starts, your
measurements will change and you
see them on the screen and you can
use your medicines quickly.
• In this way we prevent the attack.
Thank you for your listening...
