From affordable personal informatics technologies such as smartphones and tablet computers, new possibilities to support treatment of patients with chronic diseases have arisen. In particular, smartphones enable recording and monitoring of symptoms in near real-time and therefore provide a low-cost and scalable scope for a sensing application, which is able to trigger evidence based health interventions for people with chronic diseases. In this regard, we would like to investigate how present-day technology can enable self-monitoring in the specific case of asthma.
The successful applicant will familiarize himself with the topic and in the following conduct a systematic literature research. Ideally, the results of this work will be conveyed into a publication.
