The official NHS Wales digital asthma action plan.
This app is recommended for adults with a diagnosis of asthma, irrespective of how severe or under control their asthma may be. This app is for adults & adult services and is usually advised for those over 18.
Evidence suggests that people with asthma who have an asthma care plan are significantly less likely to need hospital care for their asthma. They are also more likely to have a better quality of life to engage in their favourite activities and hobbies.
Asthmahub is developed and updated with NHS asthma specialists. It is designed to support you to stay well and to spot when your asthma is deteriorating before any urgent action is required. The aim is that all patients with asthma stay symptom-free, which involves easy access to an up-to-date asthma plan.
Registration with the app is free and involves putting in minimal information to ensure the app is personalised to you. No information is shared with any third party, but anonymised data will support improvement efforts to local clinical services and it may also contribute towards population-based asthma research.
