Exploring the feasibility, acceptability, usability and safety of a digitally supported self-management intervention for uncontrolled asthma: A pre-post pilot study in secondary care.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Asthma control is often suboptimal, which is associated with incorrect medication use and poor asthma management by patients. Astmakompas, a digital self-management intervention, comprises a mobile app for patients, a web portal for healthcare professionals (HCP), and a wireless spirometer. Together, these components are intended to facilitate symptom monitoring, patient-HCP communication and assist in asthma-related self-management.

Objective

The pilot study primarily aims to assess the feasibility, acceptability, usability and safety of Astmakompas from patient and HCP perspectives, and secondarily to explore potential effects on asthma control, medication use, Quality of Life, self-efficacy and (in)direct costs.
