Guided Inhalation via Electronic Monitoring in Children With Uncontrolled Asthma (the IMAGINE Study): Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pediatric asthma is the most common chronic illness among children in the Netherlands. Scheduled hospital visits provide limited insight into therapy adherence and inhalation technique, which are critical for disease control. Smart inhalers that provide immediate feedback may offer a solution for monitoring and improving these parameters at home, leading to better asthma control.

Objective

This study aimed to improve asthma control through immediate feedback on therapy adherence and inhalation technique, with the use of a smart inhaler.

Methods

The IMAGINE (Improving Adherence by Guiding Inhalation via Electronic Monitoring) study was a randomized controlled trial consisting of 3 phases: an observational run-in phase in which adherence and technique were re
