BreatheEasy – Predictive Monitoring for Chronic Respiratory Disease

Description

BreatheEasy is an AI-powered mobile application that provides early warnings for patients with chronic respiratory diseases like COPD and Asthma.

Instead of reacting only when severe symptoms occur, BreatheEasy enables proactive management by monitoring and predicting risks.

Key Features

• Acoustic Monitoring
  Uses the phone’s microphone (with permission) to detect:

  • Nocturnal cough frequency
  • Wheezing sounds
  • Changes in breathing rate

• Predictive Risk Modeling
  Combines multiple data streams to generate a daily Exacerbation Risk Score:

  • Real-time Air Quality Index (AQI) and pollen data
  • User-logged inputs like inhaler usage and symptoms
  • Time-series analysis using LSTM models

Impact

By anticipating early signs of exacerbations, BreatheEasy helps prevent emergency visits and hospitalizations, especially in areas with poor air quality such as Tamil Nadu.
