About this study

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 a 12 week study in patients who receive a mobile app with reminders, asthma control as measured by the ACT [asthma control test], and lung function as measured by spirometry.

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.

  • Mobile application for asthma adherenceBehavioural

    Mobile phone application that sends reminders and allows patients to self-manage their medication adherence.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Standard Care with Medication MonitoringSham comparatorPatients 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 AppExperimentalPatients will be given an inhaler sensor to monitor medication use and a mobile phone application with reminders to allow self-management of medication use. 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.

  1. Real-time medication adherence in patients using mobile app 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 (2)
  1. Asthma control in patients using mobile app compared to standard care

    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

  2. Change in lung function with use of a mobile health tool for asthma adherence

    Measure change in spirometry by comparing force expiratory volume at one second [FEV1] and forced vital capacity [FVC] at baseline and 12 week visit.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Inhaler sensor and Mobile application for asthma adherence in people with Asthma, run by CoheroHealth at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Real-time medication adherence in patients using mobile app compared to standard care. (time frame: 12 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
