Care Central: Bronchiectasis & NTM is a free mobile application developed to support individuals living with bronchiectasis and NTM lung disease, as well as the healthcare professionals who care for them. The app was created to improve disease management, communication, education, support, and overall quality of care for the bronchiectasis and NTM community.
Please seek a doctor’s advice in addition to using this app and before making any medical decisions.
The app is designed with two separate user experiences, allowing patients and caregivers to access tools tailored to daily disease management, while healthcare providers can utilize clinical resources and evidence-based guidance. This dual-track approach helps ensure that users receive information and features most relevant to their role in care.
For patients and caregivers, Care Central provides access to BronchandNTM360social, an interactive online community where individuals affected by bronchiectasis and NTM lung disease can connect with others facing similar challenges. The platform allows users to ask questions, participate in discussions, read blogs, share experiences, and engage with patients, caregivers, advocates, physicians, and healthcare professionals in a supportive environment.
The app also includes a wide range of educational resources developed and approved by experts in the field. Users can download practical materials such as the Bronchiectasis Action Plan, NTM Management Tool, Symptom Tracker, Wallet Card, and educational booklets designed to help patients better understand and manage their condition. These resources are intended to encourage informed conversations between patients and providers while promoting proactive disease management.
To further support patient education, the app features access to podcasts focused on bronchiectasis and NTM lung disease. These episodes include discussions with healthcare experts, patient advocates, caregivers, and individuals living with these conditions, providing listeners with current information, treatment insights, and practical guidance. In addition, users can explore a large educational video library featuring webinars, presentations, and other content focused on treatment strategies, symptom management, and ongoing research.
Another key feature is the Care Center Network, which uses geolocation functionality to help users find nearby centers within the Bronchiectasis and NTM Care Center Network. These specialized centers provide high-quality, expert-driven care focused on properly diagnosing and managing bronchiectasis and NTM lung disease. Users can search by ZIP code, state, or address to identify expert centers closest to them.
Healthcare professionals using the app have access to clinical tools and evidence-based resources that support patient care and treatment decision-making. Features include a therapy flowchart with updated treatment guidance along with assessment tools such as the Chronic Airways Assessment Test (CAAT) and the modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) breathlessness scale. Providers can also use the app to locate expert centers within the Care Center Network and access downloadable patient education resources to support discussions during clinical visits.
In addition to its core features, Care Central connects users directly to other Bronchiectasis and NTM Association resources, including information about actively recruiting clinical trials and relevant clinical publications. By combining patient support, provider tools, educational content, and access to expert care resources in one centralized platform, the app serves as a comprehensive digital resource for the bronchiectasis and NTM community.
Care Central: Bronchiectasis & NTM reflects the Bronchiectasis and NTM Association’s commitment to improving awareness, education, collaboration, and quality of care for individuals affected by these chronic lung diseases.
