*This app is made by the PulmonaryScan Team (not Haritha Katta)*. We started PulmonaryScan with one goal in mind: educate individuals with bad smoking/vaping habits about the dangers and health risks it imposes on their body, and possibly help them in their journey to become addiction-free. Watching our high school peers greatly harming their fundamental organs gave us a unique perspective on the widespread usage of harmful substances. Additionally, we also understood how pressing other lung issues were to society through research into lung-related diseases. Specifically, COPD was an affliction that we saw as extremely pressing. With that in mind, we thought that a free, quick COPD screening test could positively benefit users as well. After weeks of development, PulmonaryScan was born. With a simplistic design and easy to use interface, PulmonaryScan is divided into 5 sections, which are detailed below: Sober Counter: The Sober Counter is a multi-faceted approach to helping those on a path to staying smoking free on their journey. First, the user is prompted to enter in the average amount of usage per week of Cigarettes, Juul Pods, or both. After that, the user will be taken to the main screen, where an auto-updating counter will tell the user how many days they have been able to stay abstinent from their smoking habit (if a user unfortunately consumes smoking products, they can easily hit the "relapse" button to start over). Additionally, the Sober Counter will also tell the user how much money they have saved in total over the course of their sober journey, as well as their expected savings of money over the course of the following month and year. This feature will allow the user to directly see the benefits of their tough fight against addiction, hopefully encouraging them to keep up their great work. The COPD Screening test is an interactive questionnaire engineered by PulmonaryScan to help individuals discern if they need further evaluation by a medical professional regarding their COPD/Bronchitis/Emphysema symptoms. This examination is comprised of 8 short questions regarding one's symptoms and conditions, and one interactive question to examine the performance of the user's lungs. Results of the test will then be analyzed, and a recommendation regarding further examination will be made. Body Map: The Body Map is an interactive interface in which users can tap into the different body systems to see how smoking specifically affects each part of one's body. Users can read the facts on how smoking affects the capabilities of one's Brain, Mouth/Throat, Heart, Lungs, Stomach, and Reproductive System. Effects of Vaping: Users will be taken to a screen where the raw facts of the downsides of Vaping are shown. Additionally, buttons are presented on the screen that lead to more supplementary reading on this harmful practice by leading scientific websites. PulmoDaily: This part of the app will directly take you to the PulmoDaily blog ran by PulmonaryScan CEO Mainur Khan. On the PulmoDaily blog, you can read the latest news in the Lung health world, recent advancements in the medical field, and much more. PulmonaryScan is a living app that adapts when new information presents itself, much like Science. The app is inspected every 2 weeks for data fallacies and bug issues.

COPD Tracker Diary

COPD Tracker puts every breath on the record - the shortness on the stairs, the 3 a.m. wheeze, the exacerbation that shows up with a change in sputum color. Log inhaler use, oxygen saturation, peak flow, and flare patterns so your pulmonologist sees the full picture between spirometry appointments, not just the numbers from one good morning in the office. Built for people managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, and the overlap of asthma-COPD (ACO) that blurs treatment decisions. BREATHING AND SYMPTOM TRACKING Capture COPD the way it actually shows up: - Breathlessness on a 1 to 10 scale - Peak flow and FEV1 readings - Oxygen saturation logging with pulse oximeter - Cough frequency and sputum color changes - Wheezing and chest tightness - Exercise tolerance and walking distance - Nighttime symptoms and sleep disruption - Fatigue and energy levels - Exacerbation onset and severity - Custom symptoms you define EXACERBATION LOG Catch flares before they land you in the ER: - Symptom escalation timeline - Sputum color and volume changes - Increased rescue inhaler use - Fever and infection signals - Action plan step triggered - ER visits and hospitalizations - Recovery duration tracking MEDICATION MANAGEMENT Track the full COPD regimen: - Maintenance inhalers like Breo Ellipta, Trelegy Ellipta, Symbicort, Advair - Long-acting bronchodilators like Spiriva, Incruse, Stiolto, Anoro - Rescue inhalers like albuterol, Ventolin, and Combivent - Nebulizer treatments and durations - Oral corticosteroids for exacerbations - Antibiotics during flares - Roflumilast and azithromycin prophylaxis - Supplemental oxygen hours and flow rate - Inhaler technique and adherence - Side effect monitoring - Refill reminders TRIGGER IDENTIFICATION Find what steals your breath: - Air quality index and pollution levels - Cold air and weather changes - Allergens and seasonal irritants - Smoke, fumes, and chemical exposure - Respiratory infections - Physical overexertion - Humidity and barometric pressure - Indoor air quality - Custom triggers you discover LIFESTYLE FACTORS The habits that protect your lungs: - Exercise minutes and pulmonary rehab sessions - Sleep quality and position - Nutrition and weight management - Hydration levels - Smoking cessation progress - Stress and anxiety levels INSIGHTS AND REPORTS Months of entries become real evidence for your care team: - FEV1 and peak flow trends over time - Exacerbation frequency and severity patterns - Rescue inhaler use trends - Trigger correlations ranked by frequency - Oxygen saturation patterns - Medication adherence and response curves - PDF and CSV exports for pulmonologists, respiratory therapists, and primary care DESIGNED FOR HARD-BREATHING DAYS - 30-second quick logging - Voice-to-text input when breathing is the priority - Clear visual charts for lung function trends - Apple Health sync for steps, heart rate, and oxygen - Gentle reminders for inhaler adherence - Optional biometric lock and offline mode HEALTH PATHWAYS - Pursed-lip and diaphragmatic breathing guides - Pulmonary rehab exercise logs - Energy conservation techniques - Plain-language education on COPD staging and GOLD classification COPD is not just being out of breath. COPD Tracker treats it like the progressive lung condition it is - helping you catch exacerbations early, prove inhaler adherence, and bring your pulmonologist spirometry-grade data from everyday life. Your health data belongs to you. COPD Tracker stores your information securely on your device and in your private cloud account. We do not sell or share it. Disclaimer: COPD Tracker is for informational and personal tracking use only. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
