| description | Worldwide, an estimated 461,000 people die from asthma
attacks each year. Whilst there remain treatments to alleviate
asthma symptoms and reduce deaths, patient deterioration needs
to be identified in sufficient time. To prevent asthma deterioration,
patients need to be aware of personal and environmental triggers
and monitor their asthma symptoms. The aim of this paper is to
provide a comprehensive review of the current state-of-the-art
wearable sensors and devices that use vital signs for asthma
patient monitoring and management. Among all vital signs,
breathing rate and airflow sound are key indicators of asthmatic
patients’ health that can be measured directly using wearable
sensors to provide continuous and constant patient monitoring or
indirectly by estimations based on proven algorithms using
electrocardiogram (ECG), photoplethysmogram (PPG), and chest
movements. ECG and PPG signals are widely used in smart
watches and chest bands, enabling easy integration of a more extensive body sensor framework for asthmatic
exacerbation prediction. Other vital signs used in asthma patient monitoring include blood oxygen saturation,
temperature, blood pressure, verbal sound, and pain responses. The use of wearable vital signs enabled a broad
range of wearable sensor application scenarios for asthma monitoring and management. |
