Precision Asthma: Transitioning Teenagers to Young Adults with Confidence
Why Transition Matters
Asthma affects 11% of Australians—nearly half a million in Queensland alone. As teenagers transition into adulthood, they face new challenges: balancing study, work, sports, social life, travel, and independence. Without the right support, this period can bring dangerous gaps in care, missed preventer use, and increased risk of severe asthma attacks.
A Personalised, Evidence-Based Approach. RespCAIR, led by Prof. Amy Rigby and our specialist team, has created a structured, precision-based pathway that integrates multi-omic profiling (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics) with digital monitoring to support young adults through this vulnerable stage of life.
Multi-omic profiling
Genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics to identify individual asthma endotypes (eosinophilic/T2-high vs non-T2 phenotypes) and predict therapy response.
Biomarker-driven monitoring
FeNO, eosinophils, IgE, periostin combined with wearable and smartphone data to predict flare-ups earlier.
Matched targeted biologics
Precision matching of targeted biologics and inhaled therapies to each patient's unique molecular profile.
Digital health integration
Apple Watch integration and RespCAIR's telehealth app for real-time symptom, peak flow, and rescue use tracking.
AI-enhanced care
Artificial intelligence for risk prediction, personalized action plans, and digital adherence tracking delivered virtually.
Lifestyle optimization
Personalized prevention plans including allergen avoidance, lifestyle optimization, and emergency preparedness strategies.
Start Your AI-Powered Journey
Create your personalized Digital Medical Twin using advanced AI to analyze your unique asthma profile and generate a precision care pathway tailored specifically for you.

Multi-Omic Precision Medicine
Advanced genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics analysis to identify your unique asthma endotype and optimize therapy selection.
How the program works
- 01
Comprehensive assessment
History, lifestyle factors, triggers, comorbidities, spirometry ± bronchodilator, FeNO, bloods and comprehensive allergy profile with transition readiness evaluation.
- 02
Multi-omic endotyping
Integrate genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and biomarkers to identify T2-high/eosinophilic vs non-T2 phenotypes and predict therapy response.
- 03
Personalized transition plan
Matched targeted biologics, optimized ICS/LABA, digital adherence tools, lifestyle adaptation strategies, and independence training with emergency preparedness.
- 04
AI-enhanced monitoring
Biomarker-driven monitoring combined with wearable data, flare prediction alerts, and adaptive step-up/step-down therapy under multidisciplinary team review.
Clinical governance
ATS/ERS‑aligned testing and reporting; decisions reviewed by consultant respiratory physicians with shared summaries to referring clinicians.
Clinical Safety & Support
Our transition pathway ensures seamless handover with comprehensive multidisciplinary support.
Multidisciplinary team
Respiratory physicians, sleep specialists, psychologists, and nurses ensuring seamless handover from pediatric to adult care with no gaps in support.
Virtual care integration
Regular virtual consultations, lung function monitoring, and genomic reassessment embedded in the program as lifestyle and environment evolve.
Adaptive care pathway
Personalized action plans that adapt as the patient's body, environment, and lifestyle change during the transition to independence.
Complete Support Package
Includes school/exam accommodations, travel plans, sports clearance, immunization review, and emergency action plan training.
Who is suitable
- Adolescents and adults with moderate–severe or difficult‑to‑treat asthma.
- Frequent exacerbations or oral steroid exposure despite guideline therapy.
- Exercise‑induced symptoms impacting training or performance.
- Suspected non‑T2 endotypes or atypical presentations.
- Transitioning from paediatric to adult care requiring structured handover.
- Preference for integrated virtual care with objective monitoring.
Results and plans integrate with our Pulmonary Function Laboratory, Sleep services, and Virtual Consultations for a closed‑loop care pathway.
