> We’re also close to finishing the medical device version - http://lungy.health - designed as a pulmonary rehab platform for patients with asthma, it should hopefully undergo early trials in the UK in 2026. This sounds great. Maybe there could also be something to help people support an asthma attack, or a beginning one. Breathing can be hard folks. Mostly saying this, because this brought up memories of a situation where a woman on a bus had the beginnings of an asthmatic attack and then realized she didn't have her inhalator on her and started to stress out. The poor bus driver had no idea what do to and also started to panic. So I ended up just being here, helping her remember techniques like the coachman seat, pursed lip breathing, all while I was kinda fighting that on one hand, my inhalator is an entirely standard inhalator, but on the same time, handing out prescription medication like that can be really, really dangerous. Give this[1] a read, it's good to now :) 1: https://www.pari.com/int/blog/breathing-excercise-asthma/ | ||

Sounds like you did a really great job - seeing an asthma attack unfold can be scary, and you were right to be very cautious in sharing your medication. So, the health version will more be a collection of simple interventions which hopefully improve symptom control and quality of life, more day-to-day control than in asthma attacks. |
