Players need to watch out for triggers like animal dander, cold weather, physical exertion, strong chemical odors, and so on because they could negatively affect the character’s progress and might cause them to be admitted to the hospital. At the end of the game, patients are given feedback on their guidance of each character - whether they helped them take their medication at the appropriate times and whether or not they were admitted to the hospital. Disclaimer: users need to seek a doctor’s advice in addition to using this app and before making any medical decisions. Breathe Better: Beat Asthma was developed by UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh and Simcoach Games as part of a clinical study to evaluate the effectiveness of video-game-based interventions in patient education. The study is currently ongoing. The behavior demonstrated in this app is for narrative purposes and features fictional characters. The care and treatment of pulmonary health issues is different for each patient. The user should derive proper treatment of pulmonary issues from their medical care providers, not this application. This app does not replace professional medical consultation and care. Privacy Policy: http://www.simcoachgames.com/privacy
