– Track environmental conditions related to asthma
triggers.
– Help prevent imminent asthma attacks.
Application Requirements
• PDA with color display
• Wireless capabilities
• Digital Peak Flow Meter with IR port
Project Tour
Usability Procedure
• Users:
4 asthmatics and 5 non-asthmatics
• Tasks:
• Set up a patient profile
• Record data from a Peak Expiratory Flow test
• Check recent test result trends – graph results - compare
• View current environmental conditions
– Pollen Count
– Temperature
– Humidity
– Air Quality Index
• Save History, medications list and other information
Usability Findings
• Graph too difficult to read
• Environment button not easy to locate
• Enter Manually button crashes if no data is entered
• Color choice – buttons and environment readings – to give
meaning
• Add ‘personal best’ to graph
• Move/Add ‘export’ button to graph page
Future Plans
• More robust graphing capabilities.
– Environmental Triggers
– Medications
• Multiple user tracking
• Record asthma triggers
• Develop physician version
