Abstract
Methods and systems for continual self-monitoring of respiratory health and components for use therewith. The present methods and systems and their related components improve the standard of core in respiratory health self-monitoring by providing continual and unobtrusive monitoring that accounts for environmental, physiological and patient background information, and is capable of yielding a complex array of respiratory health-preserving responses. In some embodiments, the present methods and systems leverage ubiquitous handheld electronic devices [e.g. cell phones and personal data assistants (PDA)] for respiratory health self-monitoring.
