Lung Health for Kids app for iPhone and iPad

This App is an interactive lung health education tool for Indigenous children/families.

The App tells the story of four common respiratory conditions, Bronchiolitis, Pneumonia, Chronic Suppurative Lung Disease/Bronchiectasis, and Asthma and will also assist primary health providers and clinicians in providing culturally-appropriate lung health education to families.

Developed and published by Menzies School of Health Research, each respiratory condition is divided into different sections, including i) about the lungs, ii) description of the lung condition, iii) signs and symptoms, iv) diagnosis, v) treatment/management; and (iv) prevention with a short quiz at the end of each section.

The App can be used without or with ‘voice-over’ in 7 local Indigenous languages from the Northern Territory, Australia or English.
