A novel air/asthma advice method and apparatus for providing air/asthma advice to an asthma patient, taking into consideration indoor allergen as well as outdoor air quality conditions, is disclosed. Allergen data (preferably for allergen with sizes smaller than 5 micron) for an indoor location (where the asthma patient is situated) are collected, and provided to a geographically removed air/asthma advice server. The server, in turn, retrieves air quality data for a surrounding outdoor area of the indoor location (from either a private or an independent source), and generates an allergen advice response for the asthma patient. The air/asthma advice is generated based at least in part on the received allergen data and the retrieved air quality data. The air/asthma advice may be delivered to the asthma patient in any one of a number of forms (a beeping alert, a pager, fax, email or voice message, and so forth). Various other alterations and modifications under different embodiments are also disclosed.
