• Description:
  While real-time location-specific information about asthma incidents and triggers could help clinicians in planning targeted treatment, such information is difficult to collect. We therefore analyzed publicly-available asthma Internet searches and their relationship to asthma triggers across major cities. Preliminary results suggest that asthma searches could serve as a proxy for asthma incidents, and combined with asthma triggers, could provide clinicians an important tool for the rapid prevention and treatment of asthma exacerbations in specific geographic locations.
