Factors that influence user adherence of the Mask-air® application.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Monitoring adherence in chronic diseases remains a significant challenge. Allergic rhinitis (AR), one of the most common chronic conditions, serves as an excellent model for studying determinants of app use in monitoring adherence and health assessment during treatment. The Mask-air® app supports clinical decision-making by involving patients in symptom observation and promoting adherence to therapy. This study aimed to identify the defining characteristics of Mask-air® users, describe their disease phenotype and satisfaction with the app, and explore reasons for discontinuation.

Materials and methods

Adult patients 20-44 years old suffering from AR (n = 198) receiving care at an allergy outpatient clinic were invited to participate in a trial using the Mask-air®
