Today is the first Tuesday in May, and also the date set to celebrate World Asthma Day, which allows improve knowledge of the disease, and seek the attention of society in generall.
It is known that the impact of this disease in childhood is greater than that suffered by adults, but it is also its incidence has increased among children, worsening in frequency and intensity. Today, asthma has become the first chronic disease during childhood, and the percentage of children who suffer from it is 10%. It is the day chosen by the Roger Torné Foundation to present during the call of the Day at the Barcelona City Council, a application on child health and the environment that can be downloaded on mobile devices.
It is called 'Inspires for fathers and mothers' and contains information based on scientific evidence and the precautionary principle.
This app was created with the objective of raising awareness among fathers and mothers about the importance of habits and behaviors when it comes to preventing children's health, promoting a change of attitude towards them
But above all it comes with a clear vocation of public service, since it provides us with free information of quality, rigorous and in a positive tone.
The options we find in 'Inspira for fathers and mothers are':
Consulting room: Includes thematic files of the main children's pathologies related to the environment, as well as articles and frequently asked questions on this subject. The user can send their questions about children's health and the environment and receive a response from our medical team.
News: Offers the weekly contents of the magazine Inspira, composed of the categories 'In depth', 'Opinion', 'Monographs', 'Mundo Solidario', 'Activities of the Foundation' and 'Seen in ...'
Tips: The user may receive brief instructions and guidelines to improve the well-being of their sons and daughters from four fundamental environments: during pregnancy, at home, on the street and at school.
Activities: Includes the events organized by the Roger Torné Foundation and different collaborating entities.
This new app aims to be a meeting point of public and private non-profit entities who work for the welfare of children.
Inspires for fathers and mothers is a reality. But its success as a social project will be measured not only by the quality, rigor and interest of the contents that we will incorporate every day. It will also be measured by the ability to become an instrument for everyday use (or almost) of users
With a pleasant design and intuitive operation, it allows downloading from iOS or Android devices, and its contents are available in Catalan, Spanish and partially in English.
