In a recent video publication of the European Respiratory Society, distinguished medical researchers discuss their views about the importance of occupational air quality in the maintenance of respiratory health and more specifically in the prevention of asthma worsening.

The MyAirCoach project will cover this important parameter of respiratory healthcare, through the unified interpretation of the medical records of patients and the objective measurement of air conditions in the patients environment. Our research aims to create the sensors and algorithms that will help doctors and medical reserchers to understand the connections of asthma with air quality (pollution, temperature, humidity), and also to lead to a smart MyAirCoach system that will warn patients for increased risk of asthma attack and furthermore help them avoid highly polluted areas.
