Feasibility Trial of a Mobile Adherence Tool for Adolescents With Asthma

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of using a mobile health intervention to improve adherence to asthma medication among adolescents in an urban clinic setting. 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 the feasibility and acceptability of this intervention to patients.

Treatment and study plan

Inhaler sensor

Device

Inhaler sensor strap that tracks inhaler use via a pressure sensitive switch.

Mobile application for asthma adherence

Behavioral

Mobile phone application that sends reminders, allows patients to see their medication use, and provides points and other incentives for medication use.

Primary outcomes

  1. Evidence of ability to monitor medication use at home via a sensor strap

    Time frame: 12 weeks

    Ability to measure medication use via the sensor strap and upload that information to the HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) compliant server.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Patient feedback for improved design of a mobile adherence tool

    Time frame: 12 weeks

    Feedback from patients on the design of the inhaler sensor and mobile app including aesthetics and ease of use.

  2. Acceptability of mobile adherence strategy for adolescents with asthma (Based on questions as part of baseline/followup visits and focus group.)

    Time frame: 12 weeks

    Based on questions as part of baseline/followup visits and focus group.
