This article, from science daily, talks about the research of environmental chemist Charlene Bayer, Ph.D..
"Dr. Bayer's research team developed a sensor box. Small enough to carry in the pocket of a lightweight vest, it's designed to continuously monitor the air around people prone to asthma attacks. While inside a chamber, the system measures for seven different environmental stimuli -- all potential asthma triggers."

The project needs more funding (per an email conversation with Charlene), but could yield very interesting results. However this is focused on what triggers asthma once the person is in a state that they have asthma attacks. I would like to find out what made my asthma, including my triggers, disappear.
