Our story began around 3 years ago when our co-founder Ana Rita Constante, then with 5-years of clinical experience, began noticing that asthma patients were present everyday in the emergency room. She found this peculiar, because although asthma is a frequent disease (it is the leading chronic respiratory disease in the world, accounting for about over 400,000 deaths/year and 70 billion euros/year in healthcare costs), it does have effective medication available (the inhalers) that should prevent asthma attacks from happening. So why was this our reality?
