How do we help with motivation?

The CF Hero app helps entertain treatment and daily long inhalations and respiratory rehabilitation in a fun way.

Thanks to the game format, the CF Hero application encourages you to follow the inhalation plan and surpass your previous results.

The application leads to the correct breathing technique during inhalation and respiratory rehabilitation.

In the form of fun and educational comics, the CF Hero app breaks down some taboos of everyday life with CF.

CF Hero uses a playful design so that teenagers are more willing to follow the prescribed therapy and, most importantly, know why they are actually doing it.

The application helps to transfer the responsibility for treatment to the patient himself.

Physiotherapists and physicians have the opportunity to help patients set up the right breathing pattern that will accompany them during inhalation and respiratory rehabilitation with the application.

Users of the application can share their results with their doctor or physiotherapist by looking at the diary, which records the performed inhalations and respiratory rehabilitations with the application, the rewards obtained and together achieve a better result.

CF Hero was co-created by healthcare experts and patients

Physicians, physiotherapists and psychologists from CF centers participated in the mechanics of the CF Hero application.
We have also worked with specialists for building habits.

In various phases of the project, we tested the app concepts and subsequently the application with selected CF patients and tried to incorporate 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. ”

“We are proud that the CF Hero application was created under the auspices of our CF Club. It is already helping CF patients in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. We believe that CF Hero can also help abroad.”
Mgr. Simona Zábranská

“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.”

Why are we doing this?

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