DoW Health: ADAMM Smart Asthma Monitoring

HCO (Health Care Originals)’s product ADAMM is a smart device that is used to identify or predict an oncoming asthma attack for the wearer. Asthmatic people may not notice how severe their attack, and the wearable technology helps them do so by taking note of their symptoms like cough,  respiration patterns, presence of wheeze, heart rate, and skin temperature etc. This helps the wearer deal with their asthma earlier than they usually would notice, by which is a dangerous stage as their attack could be more severe.

This wearable technology also links to an app that allows users to easily track their past records and monitor their symptoms. The app also allows for them to take down any notes in their journal and load their treatment plans from their doctors. This makes the app a one stop portal for the user to track their current condition and also act as a reminder to take their medicine or get help if their condition seems to be getting severe.

To put your loved ones at ease, this app also allows for easy notifications and updates to chosen people of the wearer’s status and conditions.
