The ATHENA Project is testing a new mobile asthma management program designed specifically for African American adults ages 18–30 whose asthma is not well controlled. The program uses a smartphone app to deliver personalized asthma information, text message reminders, physical activity tracking, and nurse-led education—all designed to help you understand your asthma better and take better control of it. Researchers believe this combination of technology and education will help improve your asthma symptoms and overall quality of life.
Young African American adults have higher rates of asthma problems and hospital visits, but few asthma programs are designed for this age group. Traditional in-person asthma classes don't always work well for busy young adults, so researchers created this treatment to reach people through their phones with information and support tailored to their lives.

You will use a smartphone app over 10 weeks, completing four main sessions that take about 15–20 minutes each. In the first session, you'll identify asthma challenges you face and learn about managing them. Between sessions, you'll keep a simple daily diary for one week and then set up to two personal asthma goals. The app will send you tailored text messages and tips based on your goals over four weeks, and you'll also track your daily steps and physical activity using a wearable device. Your final session will help you reflect on how well you met your goals.
