A Breath of Fresh Innovation 🫁

This World Asthma Day, we’re proud to spotlight AsthmaMate, an innovative app designed for young people and families living with asthma.

Supported by the WCH Foundation, Associate Professor Kristin Carson-Chahhoud and her team of collaborators have developed a new asthma self-management app, set to launch soon, drawing on years of research and collaboration with clinicians, families, and community stakeholders.

At the heart of the app is Luno, a friendly AI character that supports self-management through fun, interactive, engaging features while helping children and families learn about asthma.

Children and their families will be able to easily track symptoms, medication use, and daily asthma management, while health professionals gain valuable insights to tailor ongoing care.

With its gamified approach and focus on accessibility, AsthmaMate is set to transform how families navigate asthma care. We look forward to its upcoming launch and the meaningful difference it will make.

This week we come together for Patient Experience Week, recognising the heart of our healthcare community.

Every day, teams across the Women’s and Children’s Health Network shape the hospital experience for children and families, from life-changing care to small, reassuring moments, each one making a lasting difference through their compassion.

From nurses providing expert care and reassurance, to play therapists helping children understand and cope through play, and Book Buddy volunteers offering comfort through the simple joy of a story, all these moments contribute to a better patient experience.

Thank you to the staff and volunteers who make a meaningful difference to the patient experience every day. …
