Their product “Inhalo” was previously introduced in an IoT hackthon conducted by Cake Labs. “Inhalo” is announced specially for asthma patients. Their main idea was to motivate asthma patients, especially children suffering from asthma towards using inhalers. The “Inhalo” can identify the breathing patterns in a human being and produce an analysis. Their main idea was based on a research paper and their product was introduced as a headset because it is easy to control and use it as a device in day to day life. When the child play the game designed by Titans, with the help of “Inhalo”, and the patient gets the medicine easily to the body without even knowing.

‘Inhalo’ will gather the breathing patterns of the patient and it will do an analysis based on them and finally it will give a full report of the patient via mobile application. Keet said.

Their product was implemented with the help of technologies introduced by Microsoft. They have used Azure Cloud as the mobile application and database host, Azure Redis Cache to make the caching fast and mainly they have used Azure Machine Learning Studio. The mobile application is developed using Xamarin for all 3 platforms.

The product “Inhalo” was developed using modules extracted from Sri Lankan market as well as chips imported from Amazon and eBay.

The Imagine Cup Regional finals will be held on 22 to 26 of April 2017 in the Philippines. We wish all the best to Team Titans for grab the champions title to make Sri Lanka proud.
