Pilot Study of a Mobile Asthma Adherence Intervention

Not Applicable

Terminated

• Conditions: Asthma
• Interventions: Device: Inhaler sensor; Behavioral: Mobile application for asthma adherence

• Registration Number: NCT02413528
• Lead Sponsor: CoheroHealth

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the use of a mobile health intervention to improve adherence to asthma medication among adolescents. The intervention consists of an inhaler sensor strap to monitor asthma inhaler use and a mobile phone application to remind and incentivize patients to use their medication. This study will assess medication use throughout the study in patients who receive a mobile app with reminders and asthma control as measured by the ACT \[asthma control test\].

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Standard Care with Medication Monitoring	Inhaler sensor	Patients will be given an inhaler sensor to monitor medication use and a sham version of the mobile app that will not include reminders or incentives. Intervention: Inhaler sensor
Medication Monitoring and Mobile App	Inhaler sensor	Patients will be given an inhaler sensor to monitor medication use and a mobile phone application that will send them reminders and provide an opportunity to see their own medication use and win incentives for adherence. Interventions: Inhaler sensor and mobile application for asthma adherence
Medication Monitoring and Mobile App	Mobile application for asthma adherence	Patients will be given an inhaler sensor to monitor medication use and a mobile phone application that will send them reminders and provide an opportunity to see their own medication use and win incentives for adherence. Interventions: Inhaler sensor and mobile application for asthma adherence

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Real-time medication adherence in patients receiving reminders and incentives compared to standard care.	12 weeks	Analysis of real-time medication use data in the experimental \[app + sensor\] arm vs the sensor only arm.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Asthma control in patients receiving reminders and incentives compared to standard care (Analysis of the ACT [asthma control test])	12 weeks	Analysis of the ACT \[asthma control test\] at baseline and follow up for patients in each arm to assess changes in asthma control with use of the mobile app.
