The program seeks to identify groups and organizations with whom to share the results of university and independent laboratory studies where the efficacy of the NASA developed Airocide technology is employed against airborne biologicals often associated with triggering the onset of an asthmatic episode.

Airocide is a NASA funded air purification technology originally developed to oxidize airborne organic matter including viruses, bacteria, mycotoxins, and all manner of organic volatile organic compounds (gasses).  The program seeks to identify groups and organizations with whom to share the results of university and independent laboratory studies where  the efficacy of Airocide technology is employed against MRSA, Anthrax, Decane, Methane, Formaldehyde and other airborne biologicals often associated with triggering the onset of an asthmatic episode.

Asthmania Academy helps children with asthma and the people who care for them. We are the second program in the nation and the first in the Southeast to receive ASME certification from the American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC). Our goal is to work with patients, families and physicians to improve asthma control. Asthmania Academy's specialized staff includes certified asthma educators (AE-C), pediatric hospitalists and certified pulmonary function technologists (CPFT) who can assess asthma control, perform diagnostic studies and provide recommendations based on nationally-recognized asthma management guidelines.

Asthma doesn't have to control you
Asthmania Academy gives you access to asthma experts who can provide education about:

  • The role of inflammation in asthma
  • The difference between long-term control and quick-relief medication
  • The proper technique for using inhalers, taking medications and measuring peak flow
  • Acute symptoms and those associated with poor asthma control
  • How to use a written Asthma Action Plan
  • How to control/avoid asthma triggers

Asthmania Academy offers support from Family Connection of South Carolina. Family Connection offers monthly workshops to provide encouragement and continuing education. You can also receive:

  • Free and confidential support from a parent who has a child with asthma
  • Free educational materials

The staff at Asthmania Academy can also screen for exercise-induced bronchospasm (EIB). If exercise causes your child to cough, wheeze or feel short of breath, they may be suffering from EIB. The certified asthma educator (AE-C) can recommend treatment options and help determine if further testing is needed.
