GPS can be linked with asthma, what relationship? GPS to help patients with asthma find the hospital? Aha, on behalf of Chi is not simple-minded people might think that simple. From the University of Wisconsin-Madison Division of David Van Sickle is planning in the asthma inhaler to install GPS equipment, patients will be used to record what time, where to use it. With this information, scientists will be able to more easily analyze the locations where there may be unknown allergens appear.

For example, in 80 years, Barcelona had an inexplicable epidemic of asthma, the disease lasted for a long time, scientists have spent a full eight years to find the time due to soybean dust in Barcelona port caused. At that time, some of these patients, if the whereabouts of records, perhaps the suspicious area will be able to narrow the target, a substantial reduction of this period.

At present, the project is at the early stages of recruiting, no one who can sign up on the 18-year-old, I do not know who our friends in the United States can participate in outside.
