CF: There's an app for that!

Mobile phone technology offers the possibility of addressing a variety of challenges for individuals with CF. Phone apps may improve communication between patients and CF providers, improve social connectedness, adherence to therapy, and overall well-being. Studies in other chronic conditions such as diabetes mellitus, asthma, and COPD have demonstrated that use of mobile apps can result in significant clinical benefits [1].
