Respiratory health is a critical aspect of overall well-being, yet it often goes unnoticed until symptoms become severe. With the increasing prevalence of respiratory diseases and the recent global health crisis highlighting the importance of monitoring lung function. There is a growing need for accessible and efficient respiratory health devices especially when conventional lung diagnostic cost and limited access for many, especially in remote areas. The pandemic highlighted the need for remote respiratory monitoring. There's an urgent demand for affordable, portable, and easy-to-use analyzers for real-time tracking and early intervention. Therefore, BreathAware aims to develop an affordable spirometer integrated with IOT capabilities using ESP 32 for monitoring data, provide a simple measurement and display data for breathing rate to gather and present databased for medical checkup proposal. The project offers a comprehensive solution for assessing and monitoring respiratory health. By using the capabilities of ESP 32 that have IoT connectivity, the system provides real-time monitoring of lung function parameters. With the help of IR sensors, data can be collected as a patient starts blowing, and data will transfer to ESP 32 and will be displayed on the LCD through the IoT communication. This project is expected to help breathing rate, show sensor data, and send notifications to patients for alertness.
