Airia is a game to raise awareness of respiratory health through a poetic journey, proposed by the Geneva Lung League (www.lpge.ch), in a new approach to public health information and prevention. The application is deliberately metaphorical and treats pathologies from a resolutely playful and light angle in order to gently address the seriousness of some of the diseases considered. The player is led to operate, with his breath, a small boat and to discover, along different routes, messages - fragments of stories - that will lead him to lighthouses stages, symbolizing the main respiratory pathologies. A logbook provides short information on each of the respiratory diseases and invites players to continue their search for information via our dedicated platform www.airia.ch The application can be approached on two levels: by its playful aspect only (from 6 years old) and/or by its incentive character to a basic understanding of respiratory diseases (requires a good level of reading French). ABOUT THE GENEVA LUNG LEAGUE The Geneva Lung League takes care of patients affected by sleep apnea or other respiratory insufficiencies referred to it by doctors (pulmonologists, somnologists).
