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

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.
MUDr. Lukáš Homola, Ph.D.Pediatrician at CF Centre, Brno University Hospital
"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.”
