Abstract
A method and apparatus to collect risk factor information and location data associated with asthma patients and to provide information to these patients about the air quality is disclosed. A mobile two-way communication tool is used to facilitate air quality analysis based on human reactions and clustering methods. The method includes measuring predetermined physiological and dynamic parameters associated with a user, transmitting the measured predetermined parameters to an analysis tool, analyzing the measured physiological and dynamic predetermined parameters to determine advisory information associated with the measured predetermined physiological and dynamic parameters and transmitting the advisory information to the user. The measuring predetermined physiological and dynamic parameters associated with a user includes measuring physiological conditions of the user, such as respiratory function indications. The dynamic parameters includes local information such as the time of day and/or geographic locations. The transmitting is performed using a mobile phone, a mobile 2-way pager, a wireless personal digital assistant or an Internet accessing device, and the analyzing includes m…
