Abstract

Respiratory diseases are usually microbial in origin. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Asthma are considered the most common chronic respiratory diseases. Although these diseases cannot be completely eliminated, they are preventable and treatable. The most important practices in the control of these diseases are quitting smoking, reducing indoor and outdoor air pollution, and avoiding occupational dusts and chemicals. Therefore, the first step for treatment should be to remove the patient from air polluted environments. In this study, a portable mobile supported and fuzzy logic based smart air quality warning device that can automatically measure dust concentration, air quality, humidity, temperature and carbon monoxide (CO) values of the indoor or outdoor environment has been developed. In addition, the data obtained from the sensors on the device is transmitted to a server via wifi. In this way, measured values, location and time information can be tracked via the mobile application we have developed, and the patient is warned audibly and visually in possible risky situations.

Astım ve KOAH Hastaları için Bulanık Mantık Tabanlı Düşük Maliyetli Mobil Uyarı Sistemi

Abstract

Solunum yolu hastalıkları genellikle mikrobiyal hastalıklardır. Kronik obstrüktif akciğer hastalığı ve astım en yaygın kronik solunum yolu hastalıkları arasındadır. Bu hastalıklar tamamen ortadan kaldırılamasa da, önlenebilir ve tedavi edilebilirler. İç ve dış mekân hava kirliliğini azaltmak ve mesleki toz ve kimyasallardan kaçınmak, bu hastalıkları önlemede en kritik uygulamalardır. Bu nedenle, hastayı tedavi etmenin ilk adımı, hastayı kirli ortamlardan uzaklaştırmak olmalıdır. Bu nedenle, bu çalışmada, iç mekân ya da dış mekânın toz konsantrasyonunu, hava kalitesini, nemini, sıcaklığını ve karbon monoksit (CO) değerlerini otomatik olarak ölçebilen taşınabilir mobil destekli hava kalitesi uyarı cihazı geliştirildi. Ayrıca, cihazın sensörlerden gelen verileri wifi aracılığıyla bir sunucuya iletilmektedir. Böylece, ölçülen değerler, konum ve zaman bilgisi mobil uygulama ile takip edilebilmektedir ve hasta potansiyel olarak tehlikeli durumlarda sesli ve görsel olarak uyarılmaktadır.
