Summary

This study will conduct a 12-month randomized trial with 48 pediatric patients (aged 6-18 years) with persistent asthma to compare outcomes among patients with follow-up visits managed via telemedicine (TM) vs. in-person (IP) visits.

Detailed description

The overarching hypothesis is that utilization of TM for asthma follow-up will result in improved clinical outcomes such as Asthma Control Test (ACT) scores, lung function and medication adherence compared to participants receiving IP follow-up care. The Investigator also hypothesize that TM follow-up will result in higher caregiver satisfaction because families will be able to receive quality subspecialty care in their community (TM) compared to those who travel a distance to receive care (IP).
