Child Asthma

Helping families keep their child’s asthma under control

Asthma affects a growing number of children. Most children have mild symptoms and can manage their asthma with the use of a Reliever inhaler (usually blue in colour).

Other children have severe symptoms and may be at risk of an asthma attack, which can be life-threatening. These children may need to be seen by a paediatrician expert in the treatment of asthma.

It is essential that children with asthma follow their Care Plan closely and take their medications exactly as their doctor has prescribed for them.

Most young children with asthma need to use a metered dose inhaler (cannister type) because they cannot use the dry powder types until they are older.

These types of inhaler should always be used with a spacer.

Supporting your child’s asthma treatment with Asthma+me and Inhaler Dose Counters

Class I Medical Devices available for iOS and Android

The Asthma+me App, PUFFClicker2, and PUFFClicker3 are Class I Medical Devices. They are designed for use at home to support effective asthma control.

Configurable dashboards bring important data to your fingertips to help keep asthma under control, supported by a customisable and printable in-built electronic care plan and PDF reports.

Embedded lessons for parents and carers help the whole family increase their knowledge of asthma and encourage positive behaviour change for better asthma control.

A smaller number of age-appropriate lessons help the child understand more about their asthma.

The Asthma+me App connects to the PUFFClicker2 for pressurised metered dose inhalers (pMDI) for Preventer (Controller) and Reliever (Rescue) inhalers to track use and improve inhaler technique.

For young adults, the PUFFClicker3 allows dose tracking for those transitioning to dry powder inhalers (DPIs).

The child’s lung function is monitored with a SmartOne Peak Flow spirometer.
