About this study
Official title: Pilot Study of a Mobile Intervention to Increase Adherence to Asthma Medication Among Adolescents
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].

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Inhaler sensorDevice
Inhaler sensor strap that tracks inhaler use via a pressure sensitive switch.
Mobile application for asthma adherenceBehavioural
Mobile phone application that sends reminders, allows patients to see their medication use, and provides points and other incentives for medication use.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Care with Medication Monitoring | Sham comparator | 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 Receives: Device: Inhaler sensor |
| Medication Monitoring and Mobile App | Experimental | 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 Receives: Device: Inhaler sensor; Behavioral: Mobile application for asthma adherence |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Real-time medication adherence in patients receiving reminders and incentives compared to standard care.
Analysis of real-time medication use data in the experimental [app + sensor] arm vs the sensor only arm.
Measured: 12 weeks
Secondary outcomes (1)
Asthma control in patients receiving reminders and incentives compared to standard care (Analysis of the ACT [asthma control test])
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.
Measured: 12 weeks
