Wellapets - Asthma Education Pets for phones and tablets!

Wellapets is an educational virtual pet game for phones and tablets which teaches and motivates kids ages 6-11 to manage asthma by caring for a lovable pet that also has asthma. Wellapets is created by LifeGuard Games in Boston with pediatricians and other clinicians in the area.

In Wellapets, kids adopt their own Wellapet from the App Store, Google Play or Amazon Appstore, play games with it, collect gifts for its home and ultimately take care of their pet. Wellapets has been designed with clinician input such that care for the pet teaches kids what they need to know to manage their own asthma. 

Our educational content focuses on: controller inhaler technique and timing, trigger avoidance and symptom recognition and action according to an Asthma Action Plan.

We've been featured in MobiHealthNews, CBS, asth.ma and Bostinno!
