Abstract: A novel basic allergen/particulate data collection device and a novel multi-function personal air quality management device are disclosed. Both devices include sensor sub-assembly detecting and reporting on allergen/particulate data (preferably, for allergen/particulate with sizes smaller than 5 micron) for an indoor location (where the asthma patient is situated). Both devices are communication enabled to allow the allergen/particulate data to be provided to an air/asthma advice server, to generate air/asthma advice for an asthma patient, taking into consideration the allergen/particulate data as well as air quality data for a surrounding outdoor area of the indoor location. In one embodiment of the basic device, the communication interface is tailored for “harsh environment” local area networking.

In one embodiment of the basic device, the communication interface is tailored for “harsh environment” local area networking. When combined with its streamlined functionality, the device is particularly suitable (especially in terms of economics) for multiple deployment (along with a “base station”), such as in the case of an home application.

Abstract: A novel air/asthma advice method and apparatus for providing air/asthma advice to an asthma patient, taking into consideration indoor allergen as well as outdoor air quality conditions, is disclosed. Allergen data (preferably for allergen with sizes smaller than 5 micron) for an indoor location (where the asthma patient is situated) are collected, and provided to a geographically removed air/asthma advice server. The server, in turn, retrieves air quality data for a surrounding outdoor area of the indoor location (from either a private or an independent source), and generates an allergen advice response for the asthma patient. The air/asthma advice is generated based at least in part on the received allergen data and the retrieved air quality data. The air/asthma advice may be delivered to the asthma patient in any one of a number of forms (a beeping alert, a pager, fax, email or voice message, and so forth). Various other alterations and modifications under different embodiments are also disclosed.
