Cover Story: The Biomedical REAl-Time Health Evaluation (BREATHE) platform for real-time secure data communication mobile Health (mHealth) systems for pediatric asthma. Wireless physiological and environmental wireless sensors send data to a smartwatch and smartphone, where it is combined with available sensor data in real time. This data is then sent to a cloud through Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliant cryptography and combined with online sources to provide an enriched dataset for real-time individualized assessments of the risk of an asthma attack. The risk level (high, medium, or low risk) is then determined using a random forest classifier and sent to the smartwatch to be visualized as an animated dragon graphic for easy interpretation by children.
