This is the first time I’ve ever mentioned anything outside of the Phantom Dancer radio show, and my 1920s – 30s bands, the Bakelite Broadcasters and The Lounge Bar Lotharios 1920s Dance Orchestra, however, if you live with Asthma, this new app. may be of interest to you – potentially life-saving – if like me you have children with asthma
I haven’t downloaded the app. (I don’t have an iPhone or Smartphone) This is not a recommendation. But I think it’s interesting. I’ve taken the text from R&D magazine. I’m interested to hear if you’ve used it…
“Medical technology company iSonea Ltd has launched its first asthma management smartphone app, AsthmaSense, which is now available to iPhone, iPad, and Android users worldwide.
AsthmaSense is a smartphone app designed to help people improve the way they live with and manage asthma. The product launch is expected to trigger immediate revenues from app downloads. The app will be available for purchase worldwide from the Apple App Store for iPhone and iPad users and Google Play and Amazon App Stores for android users. The app will cost consumers $3.99 (additional local costs may apply) and will be a one-time purchase.
Users will be able to input their personalized, physician recommended asthma action plan into the app. From that point forward, AsthmaSense ensures users are tracking their own plan with active reminders. It enables symptoms, medication usage, and lung function testing data to be recorded and displays the user’s trends in an easy-to-read graphical format.
Unlike other asthma apps that deliver limited functionality, iSonea’s AsthmaSense is a comprehensive, personalized tool that brings together everything a person with asthma needs to better manage their condition, including alerts when symptoms suggest that risk of an attack has increased.
AsthmaSense lays the foundation for a family of future asthma management smart apps to be released by the company in the coming months, including one that will combine iSonea’s proprietary Acoustic Respiratory Monitoring (ARM) sensory technology and diagnostic algorithms into mobile health platforms.”
