What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The efficacy of smartphone application for asthma control test (ACT)and quality of life

    Using ACT and ALQL score (QoL), we will investigate the efficacy of smanrtphone application for control of asthma compared to smartphone app. using group and smartphone app. non-using group

    Measured: at least 2 times a week

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. FEV1 (Forced expiratory volume in 1 second ) and FVC (Forced vital capacity)

    Using spirometer to check the variation of FEV1,we will investigate the efficacy of smanrtphone application for control of asthma compared to smartphone app. using group and smartphone app. non-using group

    Measured: at least 1 time a month

  2. Acute exacerbation of bronchial asthma

    Using medical record and questionaire of acute exacerbation,we will investigate the efficacy of smanrtphone application for control of asthma compared to smartphone app. using group and smartphone app. non-using group

    Measured: at least 1 time a week
