Conditions
Asthma in Children
Interventions
Device: Leo device monitoring
Registration Number
NCT05308277

Brief Summary

This is a prospective, observational study to investigate the agreement of the Leo device signal derivation with gold standard asthmatic testing in recently exacerbated asthmatic children.

This study is designed for engineering validation of a wireless, wearable device (Leo) for assessing clinical control of children recovering from acute respiratory event such as asthma attack. The Leo device will monitor chest impedance, ECG and body position to calculate parameters such as respiration rate, heart rate, lung volume, tidal breathing flow and volume curves, and body position. These parameters will then be used to train and algorithm to assess clinical control of asthma.

Study & Design

INTERVENTIONAL
Study Design
SINGLE_GROUP
Arm && Interventions
GroupInterventionDescription
Single Arm - Leo Device MonitoringLeo device monitoringChild's respiratory impedance will be continuously recorded using the Leo device during hospital/ED stay after consent and enrollment, and then during 7 days at home after discharge. The Leo device provides no intervention, and will only monitoring chest impedance for the worn period. Oscillometry and spirometry testing and flow volume assessment using PNT will be performed during study visits with Leo device attached.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
CASI questionnaireBaseline visit and 7 days post hospital/ED discharge

Questionnaire will be used to determine asthma severity during baseline and follow-up visit. CASI scores include five domains: day symptoms and albuterol use, night symptoms and albuterol use, controller treatment, lung function measures, and exacerbations. Range is from 0 -17, with a higher score indicating worse asthma severity

Asthma Flare-up diaryFollow-up for 7 days post hospital/ED discharge

Self-reported asthma flare-up diary score will be measured daily during the remote (at home) period in between visits.

Airway resistance through oscillometry testBaseline visit and 7 days post hospital/ED discharge

Asthma severity measures will be determined through oscillometry test at baseline and follow-up visit. Leo measurements will be assessed for agreement with oscillometry measures.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Inhaler usageFollow-up for 7 days post hospital/ED discharge

Propeller sensor will include measures of time stamped data of inhaler usage (controller and rescue inhalers)

Tidal breathing from PNT device7 days post hospital/ED discharge

Agreement and correlation in tidal breathing parameters between Leo and the pneumotachograph (PNT) device. The PNT device parameters are considered standard of care, and will be compared against Leo device to evaluate agreement.
