The Apps have been developed with clinicians, including specific content from the Respiratory Team in Powys, as well as a number of patient representatives. The Apps are freely available in both Welsh and English for patients across Wales.
Patients are able to download and sign up to the Apps directly. Search for the following on the Google Play (Android) or the App Store (Apple):
- NHS Wales AsthmaHub: the NHS Wales self-management App for adults with asthma
- NHS Wales AsthmaHub for parents: the NHS Wales management App for parents of children with asthma
- NHS Wales COPDHub: the NHS Wales self-management App for people with COPD
The Apps do not replace healthcare advice, but offer supplementary information about good asthma and COPD care for patients. Promotional material has already been circulated by RHIG to GP practices, hospitals and pharmacies across Wales. For more information, please visit the App website at https://healthhub.wales
