Brief summary
The purpose of this observational study in participants with Asthma is to: - Collect exhaled nitric oxide, exhaled breath temperature, lung sounds, asthma medication and its usage, asthma symptoms, asthma control questionnaire, and air quality data over the course of four (4) weeks. -Analyse the collected data for trends and correlation(s), if any.
Interventions
Observation of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) using a breath analyser, exhaled breath temperature (EBT) using a breath analyser and lung sounds using an digital stethoscope in participants who have Asthma with atopy. Measurements may be administered by a general practitioner or by a participants who have been trained.
Measurements will be taken during a session lasting up to 10 minutes, 3 times a week for 4 weeks. Measurements will be recorded during each session at the start of 4 week
