Asthma management that closes the loop
From NAC guideline to care plan to patient’s pocket — structured, zone-based, and always accessible.
The problem
The action plan sits in a drawer. The GP doesn’t know if symptoms are controlled. The patient can’t find their medications list at 2 am. And the PHN has no visibility into whether guideline-concordant care is actually happening in the practices it funds.

The solution
Three connected surfaces — the clinician’s care plan, the patient’s phone, and the PHN’s population view. Try each one live.
Guideline-driven
Care plans are generated from the National Asthma Council Australian Asthma Handbook. Stepped care from Step 1 to Step 5, with AIR (anti-inflammatory reliever), MART (maintenance and reliever therapy), and Standard pathways.
The clinician selects the step. papersGP populates the medications, doses, and zone thresholds. The result is a FHIR CarePlan resource that lives alongside the patient record — not in a filing cabinet.
Mobile action plan
The patient carries their action plan on their phone. Green, yellow, and red zones with medications, doses, and what to do next — always accessible, always up to date.
The plan is the patient’s to keep. They can share it with a school, a pharmacy or the next clinician, and take it with them at no cost.
Connected care
Patients access their action plan on the patient portal and share it with schools, pharmacies, and specialists.
PHNs gain practice-level visibility into asthma management and guideline concordance across their network.
