Summary

Single-center open-label randomized pilot study to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of a mobile technology based intervention for asthma and obesity control.

Detailed description

Single-center open-label randomized pilot study to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of a mobile technology based intervention for asthma and obesity control. The interventional group subjects received a mobile device with an ad-hoc designed application (called ASMATIC) which permitted them to record asthma control variables (peak-flow and presence of core symptoms), have daily reminders on their medication for asthma control and advice for healthy lifestyle habits, including personalized diet recommendations and exercise monitoring. The device also permits a bidirectional communication between the patient and the study staff for reporting any emerging issues related to the asthmatic condition of the patient, as the need of additional in-personconsultations. The control group is followed-up based on the study site usual clinical practice, without any specific intervention. The primary study objective is to evaluate whether the use of the ASMATIC mobile application use improves parameters of asthma control, obesity control, asthma obese patient's quality of life and if it's associated with savings in health-related costs (efficiency assessment), compared to the usual clinical practice.

Conditions

• Asthma
• Obesity

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Mobile App intervention	The intervention is based on the interventional group subjects use of a mobile device with an ad-hoc designed application (called ASMATIC). This app permit them (in a daily basis) to record asthma control variables (peak-flow and presence of core symptoms), have daily reminders on their medication for asthma control and decision support for patient disease self-management; and contains advice on healthy lifestyle habits, including personalized diet recommendations based on clinical criteria and associated recipes. The device also permits the study subject to communicate with the hospital and for the study team to review potential issues of interest on the patient's asthma control parameters which might need an intervention such us additional in-person consultations
