BreathEasy - A Mobile PHR App for Adults with Asthma and Depression or Anxiety

My Colleague; Dr. Barbara Massoudi with RTI, recently received funding from the Robert Wood Johnson (RWJ) Foundation for Project HealthDesign (a Personal Health Record (PHR) platform) Round II. In this round, Barbara and her team will be developing a mobile PHR application to assist people with asthma and depression or anxiety. The mobile app (Android-based for the initial prototype) will help these patients track observations of daily living (ODLs) related to their conditions at any time of the day. You can read more on the project here.
