An Advanced Fog based Health Care System Using ANN for the prediction of Asthma

Around 300 million people have Asthma throughout the world. Asthma is one of the very common health issues among adults and children. As per the present situation of covid-19, asthma patients are very much prone to be affected. Around 1000 to 1500 people die per day due to asthma. Deaths can be avoided if asthma patients are taken care of in the initial stages. Much care has to be taken especially in the present scenario. There is a need for continuous monitoring for asthma patients. A fog-based system for health care is proving to be the best for providing a high quality of monitoring and control of the disease. Here a framework that is based on the IoT(Internet of Things) is proposed for assessing the asthma levels in the patients and to avoid the risk of being hospitalized. Here the artificial neural network-based system is proposed which helps in predicting asthma as well as sending the alerts to the respective patient and the family concerns. And this achieves a high accuracy level of 86%.
