Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that causes inflammation in the lung airways, known as the bronchial tubes. Asthma causes the bronchial tubes to tighten, and air is unable to reach the lungs, making it difficult to breathe. This condition affects all age groups, but young children and older adults are particularly vulnerable. Asthma is the leading cause of children’s absenteeism from school. Without proper treatment, asthma can worsen and lead to permanent lung damage. Although there is no cure to asthma, there are treatments such as inhalers and oral medications that help manage asthma by expanding the bronchial tubes. However, the risk factors of asthma are commonly overlooked. Studies have proven direct correlations of certain risk factors to asthma, such as obesity and allergies. By monitoring these risk factors and treating them accordingly, we can mitigate the effects of asthma attacks. Therefore, Astrack is introduced as a comprehensive app to manage asthma. Astrack is a convenient, user-friendly app that monitors an individual’s asthma patterns and recommends lifestyle changes accordingly. Astrack mainly focuses on three internal factors: diet, exercise, and breathing patterns and three external factors: weather, pollen, and air quality alerts from authorized sources. By tracking these factors, Astrack recommends simple precautions that can be taken. Astrack has the potential to benefit millions of people who suffer from asthma. It would especially help parents with managing their kids’ asthma attacks by monitoring and making simple changes in their children’s daily lives.
