How often you use your inhaler is a sign of how well controlled your asthma is. And where you use your inhaler can provide clues about what is causing symptoms. Asthmapolis personalized reports and charts will help you see and make sense of what is happening with your asthma.
Help your patients with asthma learn valuable information about their disease. Identify patients with uncontrolled asthma - and get them on track - before they suffer costly exacerbations.
Collect objective real-time data on the timing and location of asthma symptoms. Asthmapolis provides affordable, reliable, and unobtrusive monitoring for a variety of clinical and epidemiological research applications.
Working Together to Understand Asthma.
Asthmapolis is a new kind of disease tracking service. We help you learn about your asthma, but we also aggregate data from everyone to improve public health. We think of it as participatory public health.
How often you use your inhaler is a good sign of how well your disease is managed. Unfortunately, only 1 in 5 people with asthma has the disease under control. Experts recommend that patients record their use of inhalers, but pen and paper logs have many limitations. Asthmapolis tools simplify and streamline the process - helping you easily track when and where you use your inhaler.
Asthma is unique in that everyone carries around the same important medication and uses it at the time and place where they have symptoms. Knowing when and where these inhalers are used could help scientists identify exposures that cause symptoms. Until now identifying locations or exposures that pose a particular threat - whether they are at home, work, school or in the community - has been a struggle for public health experts.
Asthmapolis provides smart tools to help you and your doctor understand what is happening with your asthma in real-time. And we put anonymous data about when and where you use your inhaler to work, helping scientists sharpen their search for the causes of attacks and the development of asthma.
