Living with Asthma:
For people living with asthma, the phrase “a breath of fresh air” goes a long way. Unfortunately, many people may dismiss the common symptoms that are associated with the disease, continuing to live their lives unaware that they are a part of the millions of sufferers, suffering from asthma, thus leaving the disease untreated. Learning to live with the disease requires an understanding physiologically of what is going on within one’s own body, learning to identify the triggers, seeking treatment, and recognizing what treatments may or may not be working to control the disease. Health informatics have now made it possible for people to take control of the disease by providing online resources to provide educational and informative information as well as online tools and games to engage patients in learning about their health condition.
