Guest guest Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 I just discovered (after seeing posts on the migraine group for headache trackers) an application for iphone or ipod touch (and probably ipad...I have the itouch) that is really an interesting one for tracking asthma. It's called AsthmaMD and has different ways to track the asthma, both by peak flow and symptoms as well as being able to track your triggers and meds. It even has a graph so you can see trends and it has a place where you can send the info to your doctor via email. The app's really been helpful to me, and will be more helpful if this trend keeps going (asthma's acting up at the moment). I'll be able to show my doctor easily what's going on. It's neat to see it in graphical form and to just put it in by symptoms (it assumes peakflow) if you can't or forgot to put in a peak flow number. It judges the green, yellow, and red areas by age/gender/height. For me, it tended to be about right at what I consider to be my areas (although for me, mid-yellow range can send me into the ER). Just wanted to let folks know since I'm finding it to be a big help in a rough asthma time. ~~ NJ/PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 I was on itunes, so unfortunately didn't see it. The app I got was free, though! Can't get much better than that :-)~~NJ/PATo: asthma Sent: Mon, June 28, 2010 1:11:46 PMSubject: Re: Asthma Tracker App Did you see an app for BlackBerry? Man, I'd love to have that! I'll go look.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Hi . I also use a tracking program. However, as time goes by I find myself using it less. There are several good ones, and I would really agree that it is very helpful to identify trends. Try adding notes such as weather, activities, exposures, etc. when you are having a hard time. It can really help identify triggers.
