For patients

“The app is entertaining, I don’t get bored when inhaling, I breathe regularly. At the same time I get information, useful tips and I have fun with it. Suddenly, duty has turned into fun, and at the same time I take care of my health.“

For parents

“Every inhalation was a struggle for our 14-year-old teenage daughter. I downloaded the app, even though I didn’t expect much from it and now I’m in awe. She doesn’t bargain about inhaling and we don´t have to persuade her to do it. Hopefully it will last.”

Why are we doing this?

From our own experience we know how challenging it is to follow the daily routine for CF patients. Although the progression is often unpredictable, patients themselves can positively influence it by adhering to treatment and lifestyle choices. The goal of CF Hero application is to make long inhalations and respiratory rehabilitations that the patients have to undergo every day more efficient and effective.

A number of experts and patients were involved in the application

CF Hero - mobilní aplikace pomáhající zlepšit život lidem s cystickou fibrózou - obrazek "Kyslika"

Physicians, physiotherapists and psychologists from CF centres have been involved in designing the mechanics of CF Hero. We collaborated with habit-building specialists.

At various stages of the project, we tested the app concepts and then the app with selected CF patients, incorporating their feedback into the current version of CF Hero.

What do experts say about the CF Hero mobile app?

“As a physiotherapist, I highly recommend CF Hero. I use it myself with many young patients. It helps them adhere to treatment and I see the greatest effect in improving the quality of inhalation. In addition, a great benefit is that during inhalation and respiratory rehabilitation, the patient has fun and at the same time learns important information about his illness. ”

“CF Hero can help children and adolescents to build a habit of regular inhalation sessions. I value the alternative scenarios, allowing children and teenagers to experiment in a safe application space.”

"Maintaining a demanding treatment regimen day after day is not easy. However, regularity of treatment and its correct implementation is crucial for a successful fight against the disease. CF Hero is a great help in this regard. ”

“It is never easy to maintain motivation for daily treatment. Especially with respiratory rehabilitation, which requires proper execution and takes a plenty of time. There are many winding paths to building a solid habit, and CF Hero can be a good guide.”
MUDr. Lukáš Homola, Ph.D.

"When something must be repeated every day, one can easily lose motivation. I recommend the CF Hero app because it playfully helps where inhalation and rehabilitation might no longer run smoothly. Also, I think it can well serve not only children but also adults.”
Mgr. Pavla Hodková
Mgr. Pavla HodkováPsychologist, Motol University Hospital
"Children with a long-term illness face a number of challenges. One of them is to accept their illness, learn to live with it and incorporate treatments into their daily routines. This is the only way to ensure a sufficient quality and intensity of healthcare. Even in the time of modern drugs for cystic fibrosis, this is still essential for maintaining good health. And CF Hero can help with this daunting task.”

Marek

“Our daughter was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis right after she was born. I was thinking over for a long time how to help the community affected by this disease. An idea was born and a few months later I founded a project with Honza and the Czech Cystic Fibrosis Club, which we are pushing forward. Personally, I focus mainly on the conceptual development of the app, negotiations with project partners and making sure that everything works well in the team. ”

Honza

“I have lived with CF for more than 40 years and I try to share my experience with other patients. I want to help optimize treatment and motivate CF patients. CF Hero app combines all these efforts, since the fall of 2016 I have been working with Marek and other great people in the team to improve the CF Hero application. My motto is “Keep inhaling and rehab until you feel well.” (It may often take as much as 4 hours a day). Only an active and well-informed patient can fight CF successfully. My role is to spread know-how regarding illness, equipment, treatment and research in the CF community, to communicate within the community and with experts on CF topics, web design and administration, and partially to work on graphics and fundraising. I have experience participating in clinical trials, I am a member of the SAWP at EMA.”

Babu

Development and all that is necessary from the comic script to lighting up the fireplace. ;)

CF Hero combines everything I love: technology, creativity, professionalism, healthcare, making the world a better place, helping people and working in a great team.

Míša

I have been a big fan of the CF Hero project from the very beginning because of Marek and our daughter Laura.

I am very happy to be part of a great team.

Since the release of the CF Hero app, I have been involved in marketing communication, graphic and text content of the app and the website.

Edita

I joined the team in the middle of 2019, when I was just thinking about where I wanted to go professionally. My friends had long been dedicated to helping the sick and I was happy to join them because I like being around meaningful projects. At CF Hero, I look for and explore resources, both financial and human.  

Kuba

Meaningfulness at work has always been crucial for me and here comes a great team, the opportunity to participate in one of the first telemedicine projects and, most importantly, to work on a project that seeks to prolong the lives of people with cystic fibrosis.

I found it all in CF Hero.

Michal

I came to CF Hero as a junior developer who wanted to broaden his horizons. However, in a relatively short time, the project grew incredibly close to my heart and I am honored to be part of our dev team.

Ondra

I joined CF Hero in February 2021 to help with UX of the app alongside my studies.

CF Hero is close to my heart because it’s a meaningful project which literally prolongs lives. On top of that, it allows me to work with incredible people who live and breathe for the same cause.

Together with Kuba we develop new concepts for features and app mechanics and then I design them. Throughout the whole process I involve and talk to children with CF, our end users, so the whole app is easy to use and fulfils their needs.
