Users receive ongoing educational outreach via email, text, mobile apps and phone support from a certified asthma educator. People who opt in may also share information about their use of drugs with their health care provider, giving them the ability to monitor whether their treatment is truly controlling symptoms.

The company has launched a number of important partnerships over the past year, including programs with payers such as Amerigroup Florida/WellPoint, providers such as Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in New York and Dignity Health in California, and retail pharmacy and public sector initiatives through the City of Louisville.
