DailyBreath – Asthma & Allergies - A Platform, A Community, a Solution Ecosystem

DailyBreath is an environmental health intelligence and asthma wellness platform.  DailyBreath is a wellness app available via Google Play or the App Store that helps those with asthma track symptoms to pinpoint THEIR triggers.  It’s an asthma app focused on environmental triggers.  Only by learning the when, where, and what of your daily experience of asthma can you take steps to reduce or avoid your exposure to those allergens, pollutants, and the weather conditions for which you are uniquely sensitive. DailyBreath was recently recognized by Google Play in their #WeArePlay campaign which features the stories of people inspired to translate their idea into an app business on Google Play. Visit http://g.co/play/weareplay-usa and click on the state of Virginia to read the story of DailyBreath.

DailyBreath uniquely translates symptoms associated with a weather, pollution, and pollen convergence/confluence at a particular time and place into a personal risk index, your DailyBreath Forecast, thereby translating symptom tracking into symptom forecasting.  You experience exposures as a convergence (including weather conditions) not one exposure in isolation, like tracking only pollution (air quality) or only pollen. 

By identifying WHERE you are experiencing symptoms, you have a further understanding of risk by associating locations with the exposures that may impact your symptoms.  Recording your symptoms contributes to a broader community impact by associating where people like you are experiencing symptoms that may be associated with allergen or pollutant exposures.

The Community Flare-Ups Map represents a component that drives an asthma community that is being built on the DailyBreath platform, an online community, a global community, and a locally empowered community.  Besides crowdsourcing flare-ups by location so that you can see symptom hotspots in your community that may be a result of high levels of pollution or pollen, we include community features like a Friends feature and a Discussion Board.

Through the Friends List you can communicate with your peers, and you can create your own personal Caregiver group to communicate with others when you need them.  Through the discussion board, we engage asthma educators to respond to questions with guidance, NOT medical advice.  You can share your experience with triggers. These features allow you to share your asthma journey with the millions of people online and around the world, or those just down the street, who are just like you. 

A plethora of gaps in allergy and asthma care exist and those with asthma try to address these gaps with a multitude of solutions that have emerged in what one might call an asthma solution ecosystem.  So DailyBreath embraces an all the above approach when it comes to meeting these gaps.  DailyBreath is offering a solution ecosystem whose products are part of the constant effort required to reduce and avoid pollutants, allergens, and weather exposures that contribute to a symptom march towards a potentially preventable asthma attack. 

Upstream interventions are critical to avoiding a path towards an asthma attack and, overall, to a better quality of life every day.  To give you an example of solutions offered through our ecosystem, consider the Neosinus Nasal Rinse, an AirThings Indoor Air Quality Management Sensor, or the Allergy Spray by Allergy Defender.  These solutions, and the many we will add, are available at a discount to members of the DailyBreath Community.
