Siemens Develops Sensor Device to Predict Asthma Attacks

Siemens has developed a sensor that can warn users of constricted airways a day before an asthma attacks occur. The sensor works by measuring the level of nitrogen monoxide (NO) on a patient's breath to find out if their bronchial tubes have been inflamed. Usually inflammation happens long before an attack, and being able to predict it is half the battle won. Patients can then take the appropriate medical treatment.
