ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on creating a fun and interactive digital breathing game designed for children aged 7 to 18 who have bronchiectasis, a condition that affects the airways in the lungs. The goal is to help these children perform airway cleaning treatments at home using a computer, tablet, or mobile phone, without needing a healthcare professional to guide them. This means they can take control of their health in a convenient way while making the process enjoyable.

To participate in this trial, children must be between 7 and 18 years old, stable in their condition, and not currently experiencing any infections or flare-ups. They should also have access to a device like a computer or smartphone. However, children who have been in a supervised therapy program recently, have had a lung or liver transplant, or have certain other health issues may not be eligible. Throughout the trial, participants will engage with the game and device, which aims to make their daily breathing treatments easier and more effective.
