App helps asthma patients to monitor condition through action plan

Dr Leong believes that the AsthmaMD app can allow direct communication between patients and doctors by sharing their asthma activity charts, which saves time and transport costs.

TO BETTER manage asthma, the Perak Chest Society is encouraging patients to use a smartphone app called AsthmaMD.

Society president Dr Leong Oon Keong, who strongly supports the use of the free app created by medical doctor and researcher Dr Sam Pejham, said the app helps patients to track and control their condition through an asthma action plan.
