| Summary: | A CO2 measuring device is proposed based on a mainstream technique which would be able to classify the asthmatic condition while administering the medication to the patients. A SprintIR CO2 sensor is used for extracting CO2 concentration from the patient. In order to provide medication to the patient, a nebulizer is used that was combined together with the CO2 measuring device which is designed by the 3D computer-aided design (CAD) software where the design is printed using 3D printing machine. The device uses a facemask to channel the gases where it measures the types of conditions which are ‘No Asthma’, ‘Mild Asthma’ and ‘Severe Asthma’. The preliminary test results for 9 asthmatic patients and 10 non-asthmatic individuals shows that the device can measure their conditions successfully. Meanwhile, it can also deliver medication to the patients if the condition is ‘Severe Asthma'. |
