How do we help streamline and improve
long inhalation sessions and respiratory rehabilitation?
Thanks to the gamification, the CF Hero application encourages you to follow the inhalation plan and outperform your previous scores.
The app fosters correct breathing technique during inhalation and respiratory rehabilitation.
With funny and educational comics, the CF Hero app breaks down some taboos of everyday life with CF.
CF Hero app relies on a playful design to make teenagers more willing to follow the prescribed therapy and, most importantly, to make them know why they are practicing it.
The app helps transfer the responsibility for treatment to the patient.

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.
CF Hero app is built on 4 basic modules:
A pulsating “Oxie” sets the pace for inhaling and exhaling along with text instructions. For staying on this screen, the app user earns a virtual currency called “Oxie coins”, which can then be used for purchases in other modules of the app. At the same time, the user receives rewards (badges) for completing certain tasks.
In the shop, you can use your earned “Oxie coins” to provide your character with attractive clothes or items and create a unique character to your liking.
When following the inhalation plan, the user step by step opens up categories/comic boxes showing in an entertaining way normal and unusual life situations and their possible impact on the health of the character. In this section, emphasis was put on fun, exaggeration as well as on an instructive, but not too mentor-like, message of the story.
The diary keeps a summary of all inhalations and physio made by the user with the app. The user can track his/her success in following the plan. The results can be shared with you or his/her physiotherapist / doctor.

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.
Where is CF Hero operating?
We currently operate in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland and Ukraine (Europe). We continue to work to expand CF Hero to other parts of the world.
