Companion app
A calm companion for everyday breathlessness
The Breathlessness Support app extends the educational library into a private, guided experience on your phone — designed to sit alongside the articles and complement clinical care.
The app is currently being refined using patient and clinician feedback, and is undergoing ongoing usability testing and iterative development. It is planned for iOS initially, with Android to follow. You can join the waiting list below to be notified when it becomes available.
The full educational library is available to read on this website today — no app required.
