Brief Summary:
This study will evaluate the role of using electronic sensors for asthma inhaler devices in monitoring medication adherence and asthma control

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Asthma Behavioral: Electronic sensor and OW education Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

This study will assess the feasibility of using electronic sensors for asthma inhalers in a population of urban minority adults and children with moderate-severe asthma in the Bronx.

Investigators will also assess differences in asthma outcomes (specifically asthma control as a primary outcome measure) and treatment adherence in a group of participants with moderate-severe asthma who use inhalers with electronic sensors and real-time remote outreach worker monitoring/feedback compared to a group of participants who use inhalers with electronic sensors but without real-time monitoring/feedback.

Arms and Interventions
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Electronic sensor and OW education
MDI sensor-generated alerts will be relayed and responded to (e.g. outreach worker contacts the participant for a missed dose) in real-time to the intervention group. Outreach worker will also assess intervention group participants' need for further asthma education and provide asthma education over the phone
 Behavioral: Electronic sensor and OW education
MDI sensor-generated alerts will be relayed via app platform on participant's phone and responded to (e.g. outreach worker contacts the patient for a missed dose) in real-time to the intervention group. Outreach worker will also assess intervention group participants' need for further asthma education and provide education over the phone
No Intervention: Usual Care
Usual care group will receive the electronic tracker but the sensor-generated alerts will not be delivered. If the usual care group rescue inhaler data reveals frequent use of rescue medication (daily use for >3 days) investigators will reach out (via app or phone call) to advise the participant to see their physician


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Asthma Control Test [ Time Frame: change from baseline to 6 months ]
    validated asthma control measure


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Medication adherence [ Time Frame: change from baseline to 6 months ]
    measured by electronic sensor

  2. Health care utilization [ Time Frame: change from baseline to 6 months ]
    ED visits and hospitalizations will be assessed via electronic health records
