Smartphone-facilitated Asthma Control

Withdrawn before enrolling · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Childhood Asthma

In brief

The objective of this protocol is to pilot an innovative approach to medication adherence to determine if such an approach will improve inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) medication adherence, a critical gap in improving the health of children with asthma. SNAPP incorporates monitoring, reminders, and dynamic feedback through a smartphone that will improve ICS medication adherence and that the investigators believe will influence the child's future independence and chronic disease-management skills.
