The National Asthma Council has launched the first free iPhone asthma management app, in the lead up to National Asthma Week from September 1-7.
The app, named Asthma Buddy, was specifically developed for Australians and contains the information asthmatics need to help manage their condition, in the convenience of their phone.
National Asthma Council Australia director Dr Jonathan Burdon says the new app is a major step for the critical written asthma action plan, where the Asthma Buddy gives instant access to a personal asthma action plan.
