Abstract: | ||
| According to the CDC (Center for Disease Control),
22.4% of Puerto Ricans suffer from asthma and that percentage
increases to 25.3% in children between the ages of 5 and 14. In the
case of allergic asthma, asthma, attacks are commonly caused by
pollen and fungal spores in outdoor air. These particles can trigger
a reaction in the immune system that controls how the body defends
itself. This paper presents the development of an application to
show pollen and spores levels collected by certified stations in
Puerto Rico. A mobile and web application will be implemented to
display the data collected and uploaded to a MySQL database. Also
the software currently used to manually count the spores and pollen
levels will be redesigned to work with Java and a MySQL database
to replace the current one working with VBA and Excel.
