Asthma triggered alert system (ATAS) for children using Arduino microcontroller: article / Muhammad Syahmi Samsudin

This paper presents a device that can detect one of the symptom of an asthma attack for children using Arduino Microcontroller and GSM SIM900. An asthma attack can be detected in many ways such as breathlessness, chest tightness, and cough, particularly at night or after exercise or after doing an activity. All of these symptoms cause the heart rate to increase rapidly. The objectives for this design is to detect the increasing of heart beat that will cause an asthma attack in children using sensor and it will sent an alert system to their parents for precautions. As for this project, a system being develop using pulse sensor to detect heart beat that will interface with Arduino Microcontroller then a messaging system will be sent to the parent using GSM SIM900 that will attach together with the system. This sensor is expected to sense heart beat and analyze into two types of asthma level in children.
