The Asthma and Respiratory Foundation NZ (ARFNZ) is disappointed that the Ministry of Health has not confirmed funding for an app that could improve the lives of the 700,000 Kiwis living with respiratory disease.
ARFNZ launched the MyAsthma app in 2017, to provide information and basic tools to help people manage their asthma. Recently, the app was reviewed by Health Navigator NZ, and along with feedback from ARFNZ’s Scientific Advisory Board and the general public, this highlighted areas for improvement. The app needs to be redeveloped and enhanced to give patients the ability to fully track and record their daily symptoms, peak flow readings and medication reminders, among other things. This will vastly improve self-management and ultimately overall wellbeing for app users.
