Abstract

This paper presents AI Asthma Guard, a novel wearable device designed to predict and alert users of impending asthma attacks using artificial intelligence. The system integrates physiological and environmental sensors to monitor health metrics such as the heart rate, oxygen saturation, and exposure to specific air pollutants, which are crucial in managing asthma in children and individuals with mental disabilities. Utilizing machine learning models, including support vector machines and random forest, AI Asthma Guard classifies the risk levels of asthma attacks and provides timely notifications. This study details the device’s design, implementation, and preliminary testing results, underscoring its potential to improve health outcomes by enabling proactive asthma management. The implications of this technology reflect its alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals by enhancing individual health and well-being. The integration of a companion app leveraging large language models like ChatGPT facilitates user interaction, providing personalized advice and educational content about asthma management.
