GPS technology tracking asthma attacks

Mobile phones with Global Positioning System are a rage. But the GPS has much more to it then tracking the directions of the roads. The new found GPS asthma inhalers can track the origin of asthma patients.





Life saving inhalers are equipped with GPS and possess mechanism to relay location data on being used. Positioning sensors can sense the location of the patient who suffered an asthma attack.

The light weight inhalers linked to GPS device are of the size of a nine-volt battery.

This GPS asthma inhaler can be life saving for asthma patients and opens a new ground for technology coming to help the treatment and medicine.
