Summary

This study aimed to assess the feasibility and acceptability of self-management provided through a mobile application.

Detailed description

The chronic nature of asthma management requires a long-term approach taking into account the variability of disease symptoms, triggers and exacerbations. Several current guidelines advocate for self-management as part of standard care. Low-income countries (LMICs) such as Malawi are experiencing an increase in the burden of disease which hinders delivery of self-management services. Mobile phone health applications (mHealth) has been reported as an effective and cost-effective tool in the monitoring and management of asthma.
