Yes, I Am Wheezy.

My project aims to decrease the barriers in understanding and implementing asthma management care in Baltimore. Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that causes airways to swell and narrow leading to shortness of breath, wheezing and difficulty breathing. Baltimore City has some of the highest morbidity rates in asthma in Maryland despite being home to a few of the nation's best health care providers. My project's primary goals are to understand what role design can play in helping health care providers explain asthma management care to patients and how design can help patients understand their asthma symptoms.
