Abstract:
The Asthmatic Children Home Monitoring System (ASCHOMS) is a web-based
application that allows parent or guardian to manage his or her child’s asthma in the premises of
their home. The pulmonary doctors maintain the medical records of the asthma patients and
create an action or treatment plan for the asthma self-management of every patient. The patients
need to monitor their symptoms and vital measurements to be aware of their current health status
and to inform their respective doctors about their condition. In return, the doctor can assess the
condition of the patient and create an appropriate self-treatment for the patient. If the pulmonary
doctor is unavailable, a reliever doctor will temporarily handle the patients. Interaction among
active valid users of the system can be done through online messaging and/or short messaging
service (SMS). Different asthma related information, activities, services, and organizations are
also maintained in the system to disseminate knowledge about asthma. There is also report
generation on asthma prevalence according to asthma type, age group, gender, and location
within Metro Manila.
