The Problem
• Palliative care has a central role in maintaining the quality of life of
ALS patients and includes breathing exercises.
• Studies showed that breathing exercises could slow the
deterioration of respiratory functions of ALS patients and improve
their quality of life.
• Today, many ALS patients perform such exercises in physical
therapy institutes, and at their home.
Our Solution
• Develop a friendly, gamification-based solution for respiratory
training for ALS patients.
• Engage family members, care givers at home and clinicians in the
training process and allow them to monitor compliance.
• Achieve high accuracy of training.

The app will be presented as a pilot to several physiotherapists.
Later on, after iterations of improvements we plan to release an alpha version to
a larger number of users.
