The myAirCoach Project

What is asthma?

Asthma is a life-long chronic inflammatory disease of the airways that affects people of all ages, race and gender. In Europe, almost 30 million people live with asthma which is also the most common chronic disease in childhood. In addition to the clinical risks that it imposes, asthma poses an enormous psychological and economic burden for both the patients and their families. Despite its increasing prevalence, 1 in 2 asthma patients do not have their asthma well controlled.

myAirCoach Solution

myAirCoach project aims to support asthma patients to control their disease through mHealth. New monitoring approaches, combined with the development of novel sensors will form a system that will address the needs of patients on a daily basis. Analysis, modelling and prediction of disease symptoms will serve to stimulate patients to engage in health management, and also increase the knowledge about the possibilities that mHealth can bring to asthma control.
