ANSWER: Health and Environmental Tracker
 
People with serious asthma can avoid situations that trigger attacks using HET or Health and Environmental Tracker.
  • This early warning system is a wearable comprising a wristband and chest patch for monitoring patients bodies and sending alerts when attacks may be imminent
  • Adhesive chest patch tracks the wearer’s movement, heart rate, respiratory rate and blood oxygenation and also monitors wheezing sounds in the lungs
  • While the wristband detects motion, heart rate and blood oxygen levels, it is more concerned tracking environmental factors such as airborne volatile organic compounds and ozones along with ambient humidity and temperature
