In a changing climate in which the Air We Breathe is having a greater negative impact on people with respiratory conditions, it’s not sufficient for individual health purposes, to just broadcast a exposure measurement, for a pollutant or an overall AQI. Anyone in Delhi, India or London, England, or Los Angeles, California, doesn’t need to see an air quality index to know that pollution is bad.

But, the question they may have if they have asthma is whether the conditions (and, perhaps a specific exposure) present today may have an impact on them. And, that can only be understood by having them associate specific weather and environmental conditions with their symptoms to determine their individual sensitivity and, therefore, susceptibility to experiencing asthma symptoms in the future.

That is the crux of DailyBreath. We want to personalize this previous public health approach by providing every user with an understanding of their personalized exposure risk so that they may take action to avoid potentially preventable asthma attacks.

Personalized asthma management starts with tracking symptoms to learn your individual sensitivity to a confluence of weather and environmental triggers and, therefore, your susceptibility to experiencing asthma symptoms in the future. During Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month, download DailyBreath today to start recording your symptoms to build your own daily personal asthma forecast as well as view a map of where symptoms are being experienced in your community. Available in the App Store or via Google Play.
