Summary

This study will evaluate the role of using electronic sensors for asthma inhaler devices in monitoring medication adherence and asthma control

Detailed description

This study will assess the feasibility of using electronic sensors for asthma inhalers in a population of urban minority adults and children with moderate-severe asthma in the Bronx. Investigators will also assess differences in asthma outcomes (specifically asthma control as a primary outcome measure) and treatment adherence in a group of participants with moderate-severe asthma who use inhalers with electronic sensors and real-time remote outreach worker monitoring/feedback compared to a group of participants who use inhalers with electronic sensors but without real-time monitoring/feedback.

Conditions

• Asthma

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Electronic sensor and OW education	MDI sensor-generated alerts will be relayed via app platform on participant's phone and responded to (e.g. outreach worker contacts the patient for a missed dose) in real-time to the intervention group. Outreach worker will also assess intervention group participants' need for further asthma education and provide education over the phone
