Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of patient participants that rate the devices as easy to use
Time Frame: 3 months
Measuring the feasibility and acceptability of monitoring devices for children ages 6-17 who are at high risk for asthma exacerbation, by having children use the devices and having children/parents answer survey questions regarding their impressions of the product at the beginning of use and after 1.5 and 3 months of use.
Number of provider participants that rate the devices as easy to use
Time Frame: 3 months
Measuring the feasibility and acceptability of monitoring devices for children ages 6-17 who are at high risk for asthma exacerbation, by having children use the devices and having providers answer survey questions regarding their impressions of the product at the beginning of use and after 1.5 and 3 months of use.
Secondary Outcomes
- Number of patients/parents that exhibit behavioral changes with respect to taking asthma medications as a result of information gained from the monitoring devices.(3 months)
- Number of pediatric pulmonary providers that exhibit behavioral changes with respect to prescribing asthma medications as a result of information gained from the monitoring devices.(3 months)
- Correlation of lung function to percent use of controller medications as measured by adherence devices.(3 months)
