Overview
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.

- •Children with any history of known allergic reaction to adhesives or hydrogels, as the ones used with the Leo device
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
CASI questionnaire
Time Frame: Baseline 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 diary
Time Frame: Follow-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 test
Time Frame: Baseline 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 Outcomes
- Inhaler usage(Follow-up for 7 days post hospital/ED discharge)
- Tidal breathing from PNT device(7 days post hospital/ED discharge)
