ABSTRACT
Asthma is a chronic lung disease which there is a variation of lung function such as
various airflow limitation where there is more effort on expiratory airflows and respiratory
symptoms like wheezing, tightness in your chest, shortness of breath, and cough that could be
vary over time and may be present or absent at any point of time. Eventhough asthma causes
a reversible change, it cant be cured completely and can only be controlled the exacerbation
by avoiding the cause of asthma. So, there is an idea to create a device to detect potentially
dangerous environtmental condition for asthma sufferers and to provide immediate reliefs in
order to help preventing asthma exacerbation with a device Smart Android Bag for Asthma
Prevention (SANBAV).
environtmental conditions and to give commands for users to be aware of the upcoming
asthma attack when the triggers is detected. SANBAV uses some equipments such as the
sensor detection of gas, humidity, temperature, and dust, which are integrated with Android
interface and alarm. When environtmental conditions were to have potential to cause asthma
symptoms, the alarm will blare and the tools will turn on so that the android device that has
been integrated with the microcontroller via bluetooth gives you a warning while provides
information for users to take precaution so that asthma symptoms could be prevented. If
asthma potential cause were to improve, the alarm will be turned off. Thus, the user is already
1. INTRODUCTION
Breathing is the main activity in daily life. By breathing a person will be able to inhale
the oxygen content in the air which is further used for metabolic processes in the body.
Unfortunately the number of respiratory problems is very high every year. One of the most
have difficulty breath and goes off when sighing, where symptoms are different for each
person. Data from the WHO (World Health Organization) mentions, in 2011 there are 235
million people worldwide suffer from asthma with a mortality rate of over 8%. In Indonesia,
particularly in the Persahabatan Hospital as one of the hospitals, the number of asthma
patients who enter emergency rooms has increased 3 times that are 6630 patients in 2011.
presence of inflammation in the airway. According to AAFA (Asthma and Allergy Foundation
of America) the cause of the inflammation can be an allergen (allergy triggers) such as dust
and pollen of flowers, an irritant in the air like smoke from smoking, coal and firewood as
From the above background, appeared the idea to create a useful tool to help
prevent the occurrence of asthma caused by environmental conditions that are less
appropriate. The advantages of this tool is also supported by the android smartphone
system utilization that enabled to display environmental conditions and gave the order for
the user to anticipate the occurrence of asthma when the trigger is detected on the
environment. This creativity will be proposed with the title is "SANBAV (Smart Android Bag
for Asthma Prevention)". This tools is using a sensor, such as dust sensor, temperature
sensor, humidity sensor, bluetooth, and arduino which connected through android

addition, LM 35 is also as a precise temperature sensor and packed in the form of Integrated
Circuit (IC), where output voltage output is very linear match with the temperature change.
This sensor serves as a modifier of the physical quantities of temperature to the magnitude

Gas Sensor
Gas sensors are devices that can convert chemical compounds into electrical
signals. In this case gas or vapor of organic compounds, gas chromatography (GC) and gas
chromatography / mass spectrometry (GC / MS) has been widely used as a gas gauge. GC
and GC / MS are not portable instruments so that the preparation and storage of samples
are complicated and complex. In addition, investment and maintenance costs as well as GC
and GC / MS operations are not cheap. This sensor is able to provide an alternative as a
quantitative and qualitative quantitative gas gauge that is accurate and reliable, portable,

electronics flexible and easy to use. Arduino is aimed at artists, designers, hobbyists and
anyone who is interested to creating devices / products that are interactive. The Arduino
microcontroller.
By using Arduino software we can write programs (called sketches), check if there
are programming errors to program to the microcontroller on the Arduino board. In this
software happens compiling process, that is conversion from program that we write into
codes that can be understood by microcontroller. The Arduino IDE software was developed
based on open source processing software that is widely used to produce interactive
Bluetooth
With the bluetooth then the microcontroller that has detected an asthma trigger in the
environment will be able to send information to the android device, so it will raise the
anticipation command on the android display that makes it easy for the user.
Mechanism of SANBAV :
This activity includes designing all components of the tool that will be applied
in perfecting the working mechanism of SANBAV. In addition, the selection and testing of
each component that may be applied in the system so that the tool will be able to function
environment there are potential causes of recurrence of asthma symptoms or not. If the
condition of the environment has the potential to cause asthma symptoms, the alarm on
the appliance will light up and the android device that has been integrated with the
microcontroller via bluetooth will provide warnings as well as provide information to users
Tools Design
The design of this SANBAV will be implemented in the form of a bag in which has
been installed the main tool in the form of sensors and all other electrical components. All
tool components will be designed in one portable box that is easy to install or remove for
easy use. The shape of the bag is chosen because it can store all the components of the
SANBAV system along with toolkits that functioned in anticipation in preventing the
occurrence of asthma. The material used in this bag is a waterproof material, so that when
used during rain, electrical components and toolkits that are not water resistant will be
protected.
This activity includes the installation of components that have been made perfectly
into the media bag that has been designed. It also installed a toolkit in the bag as an
anticipation of the potential causes of asthma in the environment. Here are the types of
triggers and commands that are displayed from your android device as anticipated to be
As for the android device also included information in the form of causes of
asthma that can be predicted and prevented by avoiding it like due to factors of food, drugs
This test is intended to ensure that the performance of the tool has been made to

3. CONCLUSION
Sanbav can be used to detect the triggered of asthma in the environtment through the sensor.
The sensor is integrated with android application which connected using a bluetooth, so SANBAV
can be used as firstaid and prevention so the asthma attack can be avoided.
