Would you like to keep asthma from getting in your child’s way? 

Researchers at the University of Florida Health are conducting a virtual research study that may help teens with asthma. This research study uses a smartphone app called AIM2ACT to help teens better manage their asthma. AIM2ACT can help teens improve their asthma care and symptoms. If the study shows the app can improve asthma, doctors may offer it to patients in the future.
