In a bid to improve data collection on the use of inhalers in the community one American company has now developed Asthmapolis, a GPS device to strap onto your inhaler and track usage on your iPhone. Looks like it could be a useful piece of kit for piecing together asthmatic triggers, but I have some issues over the name. Clearly Asthmapolis is meant to sound like a futuristic and fresh approach to disease management, but there are an awful lot of scottish patients who might think they are being monitored by the Asthma Police.

Not only that, but I thought that the classical root of ‘asthma’ was from something like ‘breathe hard’ or ‘blow’. And since ‘polis’ is Greek for city, that makes this device “Heavy breathing city” or “Blow city” which sounds far more like a strip club than a medical device.
lol.com, also the design looks a bit chunky i certainly wouldnt bother carrying it around.
