An App That Knows Your Lungs
Asthma is when your lungs sometimes have a hard time. Apps can help. They count the puffs from your inhaler and remember your good days and bad days.
Some can listen to the sound of your cough through the phone microphone. The AI compares it to past coughs and warns if today might be a bad day.
What the app keeps track of
- Inhaler puffs and when
- Cough sounds
- Local air quality and pollen
- Your sleep on bad nights
Key terms in this lesson
The big idea: asthma apps help your family see patterns so good days come more often.

- Connects to phone weather app
- Warns if a kid uses it too much
- Doctor reviews the data at checkups
