A LIVE Global #phaware Activation

Every year on May 5th, pulmonary hypertension organizations and groups around the world participate in World Pulmonary Hypertension Day activities to raise awareness of this rare and often-misdiagnosed disease and to celebrate the lives of the global PH community. #WorldPHDay brings global attention to the importance of improving the quality of life and life expectancy of the more than 25 million people living with PH.

This year, phaware global association® (www.phaware.global) invites you to become a #phaware Brand Ambassador!

Global Disease. Global Awareness.

Share LIVE videos and photos taken during all the 80+ amazing awareness-raising events, actions and celebrations happening on May 5th. We’re leveraging the all-new Stream app, making exciting updates to our phaware365 Global Selfie app and hosting an unprecedented number of LIVE Global Q&A’s with PH and CTEPH specialists from around the world. It’s an all-day opportunity to engage with events as they happen or toggle between events happening simultaneously.

Five ways you can get involved:

1. On air with phaware® #WorldPHDay Global Stream

From Burbank to Berlin… Barcelona to Buenos Aires… Powered by the global PH community, phaware® is engaging Brand Ambassadors (patients, caregivers and PH thought leaders) in a number of countries, across multiple time zones to broadcast LIVE video from #WorldPHDay events taking place around the globe directly from the Stream app on their phones to our On Air with phaware® page. Together we will bring the community to events and events to the community all in real time.

How to become a #phaware Brand Ambassador: 

Step 1: Visit https://stream.live/

Step 2: Download the Stream app (for iOS or android).

Step 3: Create/sign up a free account using an email (use an email account rather than social media).

Step 4: Email us at: info@phaware.global and let phaware® know your user name, country of origin and your connection to PH.

Once you get connected and are an approved phaware® Brand Ambassador, we will send you final instructions on how to share your LIVE stream(s) to our On Air with phaware® page and our Facebook page to make this #WorldPHDay the Biggest Global Awareness Day yet!

2. Global PHAware® Awareness Video

Not going to a #WorldPHDay event? No problem!

Here’s how you can participate in our all-new Global phaware® Awareness Video:

In addition to bringing you the sights and sounds World PH Day activities, we invite phaware® Brand Ambassadors to answer five simple questions on the Stream app, which will be used to create a new phaware® Global Awareness Video.

Question 1: What is your connection to PH?

Question 2: Why is pulmonary hypertension awareness important?

Question 3: What advice do you have for a newly diagnosed patient?

Question 4: What is one thing you wished someone told you when you were diagnosed?

Question 5: Why is pulmonary hypertension research critical for a PH patient?

Stream your answers.  Share your story. Your video could end up in our next #phaware-ness video!
