Abstract

The Czech Pneumology and Phthisiology Society is preparing applications for smartphones and tablets for pneumologists. In the field of bronchial asthma, she has developed a new tool for doctors who treat bronchial asthma and encounter a patient with an uncontrolled form of the disease.

Your doctor can use the app to go through the asthma diagnostic process, differential diagnosis, screening for comorbidities and complicating factors. There are several scoring systems in the app that help doctors, for example, decide when to send a patient to a severe asthma center.

The application includes a basic version of the patient module, which the author team will further develop in cooperation with patients.
