Smart Breath Analyzers were developed as sensing terminals of a telemedicine architecture devoted to remote monitoring of patients suffering from Asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and home-assisted by non-invasive mechanical ventilation via respiratory face mask. The devices based on different sensors (Gas, Smoke Sensor and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), relative humidity and temperature (R.H. & T) and Heart rate, respiration sensors) monitor the breath air exhaled. The system uses multiple sensors, including a heart rate sensor, temperature sensor, respiration sensor, gas sensor, sound sensor, humidity sensor, and smoke sensor, to collect real-time data on the user's respiratory health status. This data is then transmitted to an IoT cloud server, such as the Cayenne cloud server, for remote monitoring and management. The sensor raw signals are transmitted to National Health Service units / Doctor by TCP/IP communication through a cloud remote platform using IoT module. The work is a proof-of-concept of a sensors-based IoT system with the perspective to check continuously the effectiveness of monitoring and/or any state of exacerbation of the disease requiring healthcare. By a gas-mixing bench towards gas, smoke in environment and acetone concentrations in exhaled breath collected in a sampling bag were carried out to test the realized prototypes. This system uses analyze the data and detect early warning signs of Asthma and COPD attacks before they occur.
