Are you living with asthma or COPD?

The MyLungHealth@Home app helps you take care of your asthma or COPD from home. With the Luscii app on your phone or tablet, you can track your symptoms and peak flow, access education and advice, and find local support—like services to help you stop smoking.

MyLungHealth@Home is easy to use and is being gradually rolled out across Dorset

Your respiratory nurse or healthcare professional will register you to use the app. You will receive a welcome email with a link to download the app for free.

It is important that you continue to attend your appointments with your healthcare provider as usual, using the app can help prepare for this appointment.

Why use the MyLungHealth@Home service

At your fingertips:

  • Education

  • Inhaler technique videos

  • Ability to track your symptoms

  • Advice when your condition changes

  • Information about your local support services

For patient safety

Your information will not be continuously monitored by your respiratory care team, but they may review any readings you’ve recorded on the app with you at your planned appointments.

If you have any concerns, new symptoms, or your symptoms are getting worse between appointments, contact your GP, call 111 or visit 111.nhs.uk. If your results are abnormal, you’ll receive an automated message with advice on what you should do.

FAQs

Refer to terms of service within the app for information on how your data will be used.

Your GP does not require access to the app data. As with ‘usual care’, heart failure reviews and treatment will be shared to the GP clinical record and changes to medications will be communicated to the surgery.

You might decide, with your heart failure care team, that you no longer need to use the app, or that you would like to take a break or stop using it altogether. You should speak to your heart failure care team about returning to ‘usual care’.

If you would like to go back to using the app in the future, and it’s still suitable for managing your care, you can ask your care team to re-register you.
