Study Details

The objective of this study is to design, implement, and evaluate the impact of an adapted health information technology(IT)-enabled practice model for asthma symptom monitoring using patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in a primary care setting. Adults over 18 years of age with asthma will be recruited at primary care clinics and randomized to either 1) asthma symptom monitoring via the mobile health (mHealth) app; or 2) usual care. The investigators will collect data on patient-reported asthma quality of life and asthma-related healthcare utilization. We will also study barriers and facilitators to implementation of the mHealth app and health IT-enabled practice model.
