Adaptive Mobile Health Intervention for Adolescents with Asthma: Iterative User-Centered Development.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Adolescents diagnosed with persistent asthma commonly take less than 50% of their prescribed inhaled corticosteroids (ICS), placing them at risk for asthma-related morbidity. Adolescents' difficulties with adherence occur in the context of normative developmental changes (eg, increased responsibility for disease management) and rely upon still developing self-regulation and problem-solving skills that are integral for asthma self-management. We developed an adaptive mobile health system, Responsive Asthma Care for Teens (ReACT), that facilitates self-regulation and problem-solving skills during times when adolescents' objectively measured ICS adherence data indicate suboptimal rates of medication use.

Objective

The current paper describes our user-centered and evi
