Asthma Management: Trigger Awareness

One of the key gaps in allergy and asthma care is the lack of patient awareness when it comes to THEIR triggers. Allergens and irritants are usually the culprits that trigger the airway inflammation that leads to an asthma exacerbation, but the weather can be a key trigger for an asthma attack and on any given day is a prevailing factor in an elevated risk of experiencing an asthma attack. One of the key elements of the DailyBreath Risk Index is the prevailing factors that impact the calculation of the index for that day. These prevailing factors and their potential impacts are often poorly understood by asthma patients. The following educational videos support DailyBreath users in understanding the triggers that may impact THEIR asthma so that they can be informed, aware, and prepared.
