SEVERNA PARK, Md., Sept. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Medical technology company iSonea Ltd.

With AsthmaSense, parents and children have the most intelligent asthma management app at their fingertips. Unlike most health apps which act as passive journals, AsthmaSense v.1.0.1 analyzes user symptoms, medication usage and lung function measurements against the National Institute of Health (NIH) asthma guidelines, alerting the user if it senses that their asthma is not well controlled.

With AsthmaSense, users can input their medication, symptoms and peak flow results, and set alerts for medication and lung function testing. In addition to using this information to determine the status of a user's asthma, the AsthmaSense app stores this data, giving the user and their doctor a better picture of their lung health.

"Autumn is a tough time for asthmatics, especially children. By offering AsthmaSense for free through September, we are increasing access to the most intelligent, easy-to-use asthma management app on the market during this troublesome season," said Michael Thomas, CEO of iSonea Ltd. "At iSonea, we are committed to helping asthmatics breathe easier and we are continuing to develop tools to help people control this disease."

AsthmaSense is the first of iSonea's family of asthma management apps. Future iSonea apps will incorporate the Company's proprietary Acoustic Respiratory Monitoring (ARM™) technology and diagnostic algorithms. The company is also developing the AsthmaSense Cloud™ for data sharing and enhanced capabilities for detecting asthma risk based on changes in environmental conditions such as air quality and weather.

AsthmaSense is available for free on the Apple App Store (for iPhone and iPad users), Google Play and Amazon App Stores (for Android users).
