GPS-enabled….inhalers
David Van Sickle, an epidemiologist from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has rigged up asthma inhalers linked to GPS devices. The idea is to locate where asthma sufferers are when they need their medication. For now, he’s looking for 31 volunteers in a trial of the devices which are about the size of an inhaler paired with a nine-volt battery. In time, he hopes to have folks all over the country tracking where attacks happen.
