This document discusses childhood asthma and a proposed solution called Breathe Easy. It summarizes that asthma is the most common chronic disease globally, affecting over 9.6 million children in the US alone. Breathe Easy aims to address this through a breathing toy and iPad app that helps children manage asthma attacks. The solution would track location, medication use, and provide reminders and incentives. It seeks $7.2 million in funding over 36 months to develop the product and bring it to market.
