An Android-First Asthma App With Real Peak-Flow Tracking And A Live Action Plan, Because The Good Ones Are All iPhone

android app weekend hack •• multiple requests

The asthma apps clinicians actually recommend, AsthmaMD in particular, are iPhone-centered, and reviewers note the asthma-app selection is poor and worse on Android, with low-rated apps plagued by data loss and crashes. Asthmatics on Android who want to log peak-flow readings, symptoms, and triggers against a written asthma action plan are stuck with weak options. The opportunity is a reliable, Android-first peak-flow plus action-plan companion.

builder note

The clinical content is free and standardized, the asthma action plan is a known green/yellow/red traffic-light model, so the whole value is reliability: never lose a reading, work offline, and export a clean PDF for the pulmonologist. That's a weekend of logic and a lot of QA.

landscape (3 existing solutions)

Good asthma self-tracking exists mostly on iOS; Android asthmatics are left with crash-prone, data-losing apps or general-purpose trackers that don't model an action plan.

AsthmaMD Well-regarded and free with action-plan support, but iPhone-centered; Android parity is weak.

MyTherapy Solid medication reminders and can prompt peak-flow use, but it is a general adherence app, not a purpose-built asthma action-plan tool.

Propeller Effective, but built around an FDA-cleared inhaler sensor and clinic/payer programs rather than a standalone self-tracker.
