Graphic medicine for paediatric asthma
Turn their asthma battle into a superhero journey.
A data-driven Graphic Medicine app that translates daily inhaler logs into custom, physical comic books starring your child. Build lifelong habits, reduce medical anxiety, and celebrate every health victory.
Tailored hero-journey storytelling
How a daily health log becomes a monthly comic book.
Automated story mapping
Our smart software backend takes their real clinical data and maps it into an action-packed story script.
A custom comic in the mail
Every month, a glossy comic book arrives addressed to them. On the cover, they are the superhero, and the plot mirrors their real-life health wins.
The deep dive
Moving beyond reminder apps. This is behavioural science.
Standard medical diaries feel like a chore, leading to logging burnout and missed doses. Comic Journal changes the emotional frame by using the proven clinical principles of Graphic Medicine. Cold clinical data becomes a visual metaphor: a pollen spike is a villain, an inhaler dose is a shield upgrade, and a logged routine becomes part of the hero arc.
We do not just remind children to take medication; we help them emotionally invest in their own wellness. The app can track hidden barriers such as school embarrassment, side-effect worries, and forgetfulness, giving parents and NHS clinicians better insight into the care plan while keeping the child engaged.
Explore the Clinical ResearchInspired by research
Built from evidence. Ready to refine with families.
Comic Journal turns asthma into a story a child can recognise and rehearse. Research across gamification, graphic medicine, educational comics, and asthma learning games suggests that progress loops, relatable characters, and visual storytelling can make health routines feel less frightening and more memorable. The aim is not just to remind children what to do, but to help them understand triggers, practise inhaler technique, talk with their family, and feel like an active participant in their own care.
Partner gateway
Are you a paediatrician, researcher, or NHS Trust?
We are building our first-wave collaborator network to co-design and validate our platform. If you specialise in paediatric respiratory medicine, behavioural science, or patient-led co-design, join us in shifting asthma care out of hospitals and into communities. We need forward-thinking clinical and academic experts to help shape our personalised storytelling framework. Ensuring our visual narratives are clinically robust and deeply resonant with young patients.
Funding & Strategic Partnerships
To accelerate the comic journal initiative, we are seeking strategic funding partners and/ or co-applicants.
We invite healthcare innovation grant bodies, impact investors, and life science organisations to back this transformative digital intervention. Investing in Comic Journal means backing a scalable, evidence-based software framework that moves beyond generic tracking to improve medication adherence, reduce A&E admissions, and empower paediatric patients where it matters most.
