Alvio tracks your progress while you play. And because it’s fun, kids will keep playing while they get healthier. We designed Alvio’s games around the ways people need to improve their lung health. Inhaling and exhaling moves the character up and down to hit targets. Other games measure how hard you can exhale—a very important indicator of the seriousness of your condition.

Alvio is being tested in Montefiore Medical Center in New York City in their pediatric department. It will be used in-hospital for 6 weeks and then at home with the patients for 6 months. The app was hand-delivered on iPads by the company.

Alvio is partnering with some of the top hospitals in the US, to make our games even more useful. So we can help even more kids with asthma go out and play. And help their parents to breathe easier.
