Did you know South Australia has one of the highest asthma rates in the world? 🫁
Many asthma-related hospitalisations and deaths are preventable, yet 90% of kids don’t use their inhalers correctly and 70% don’t have an action plan.
This Asthma Week, we’re shining a light on Asthma AI+ 💡
Supported by the WCH Foundation, A/Prof Kristin Carson-Chahhoud and her team of collaborators are developing a new self-management app for asthma. It combines real-time symptom tracking, personalised education, and interactive tools to give children and young people with asthma the best chance to thrive.
The app is currently being tested by 8-25 year olds with an asthma diagnosis under the care of the Women’s and Children’s Hospital. Together, we’re working hand in hand to equip young people with the tools to take control of their asthma.

IT`S OFFICIAL! The brand new playground at the Women`s and Children`s Hospital is now OPEN! 🛝
We`re absolutely thrilled to unveil this inclusive, contemporary space that will support countless families, offering small but powerful moments of relief, connection and care.
Thank you to every supporter, donor, and community partner who played their part and helped make this dream a reality.
Your generosity has created a place for children and families to reset between appointments, recover after treatment, or simply feel like a child again.
We’re proud to have partnered with the University of Adelaide’s Elder Conservatorium’s Centre for Aboriginal Studies in Music (CASM) on the groundbreaking Health Songbook Project, Australia’s first music therapy songbook tailored for Aboriginal peoples in health care 🎶
Featuring 20 songs from 14 Indigenous language groups, this free resource provides music therapists with culturally appropriate tools to support Indigenous patients. This project celebrates the richness of Aboriginal languages and music while fostering healing and connection.
We played a pivotal role in connecting the research team, led by Bundjalung man Grayson Rotumah, with Music Therapists across SA and the Australian Music Therapy Association to ensure the songbook met their needs.
The Indigenous Health Song Book will help registered music therapists working in our hospitals to provide culturally connected care for Aboriginal families, through the use of music that celebrates the rich diversity of Indigenous languages and artistic expression, created by Aboriginal artists for their community.
We were thrilled to host the launch of the Health Songbook and hear from Nukunu singer-songwriter Tilly Tjala Thomas and Bousta aka Arrernte man and performer Myles Turner.
