Like thumbprints, your lungs are as unique as you are. Each asthmatic patient has different inflammation mechanisms and in some patients, the cells involved cause more severe asthma, with a poor response to the usual medications and limitations in day-to-day activities. Your "lung fingerprint" is our way of referring to the unique characteristics of your asthma.
How to make a Lungprint?
Your Lungprint will help reveal information about your individual experience with asthma and the impact it's having on your day-to-day life and emotional well-being. It will also help you understand if your asthma is under control.
What is a Lungprint?
Take a few minutes to fill out the form and answer some questions. By creating your Lungprint, you'll gain a better understanding about asthma's role in your life. Once the questionnaire is completed, you will receive a copy to share with your doctor.
