Abstract

Both exteriority of the neck is paired with the muscle called Sternocleidomastoid Muscle (SCM). The SCM muscle is attachment of inhalation. During asthma the SCM muscle contraction is abnormal. Monitoring of SCM muscle contraction has more importance in asthma assessment. We develop a wearable monitoring system based on an accelerometer sensor. Sensor detects the SCM muscle contraction in the form of analog signal and the signal is given to the input of the microcontroller and then output will be displayed by LCD display.
