3 INTRODUCTIONEnvironmental factors and air quality (out-door or indoor) are major components playing vital role in spread and cure of many diseases.

Allergy and Asthma - two major diseases largely linked with environmental factors and air-quality(indoor or outdoor).Approximately 20% to 30 % of total population suffers from at least one of allergic diseases in India, out of which 15% develop asthma (majority amongst Children of age 5-11 years -WHO-Research 2009).Pollen availability in air, Pollutants increased the risk of asthma among children and old-age people.

4 INTRODUCTIONNational Health Interview Survey (NHIS 2014 CDC & American College of AAI), 8.4 percent of US children under age 18 years suffered from hay fever, 10% from respiratory allergies, 15.9% are having other allergies i.e skin, food etc.

Data Analytics become more complex and critical when dealing with Human Healthcare indices /decisionsSign and Symptoms, Clinical Findings and MedicationsAge-group and Body Immunity Level, Social determinants contributing to occurrence of disease ,Health and Hygiene components etc.What if when, Environmental Factors and Air Quality causing the diseases ??

6Goal and Objectives Improving the individual health by predicting, preventing the airborne allergies and asthma diseases using Cloud Computing

To provide an initial preventive diagnosis to all users depending on the symptoms (EPHR).To distinguish population at risk using GIS/Geographic Positioning System (GIS/GPS) and Individual Electronic Health Record. To secure the personal information of allergic and asthma infected citizens and advice consultations, alerts to Hospitals/Family PhysiciansTo define Predictive Health Analytics as a Cloud Service (PHAaaS)
