The proposed health monitoring system gathers time/location data from patients through location aware devices such as GPS that are embedded in their cell phones. The system also collects various environmental measurements such as humidity level and smoke concentration through wireless sensors. The data collected by these location and sensor devices will be transmitted continuously through sensor and mobile networks to a database server. Then, the developed analyses model at the server side will analyze the collected data using a spatio-temporal integration model to derive conclusions that will help in providing a better insight into the causes of Asthma.
