Abstract
Asthma is the most common chronic childhood illness and the third leading cause of hospitalization among pediatric patients in the US. It is responsible for more than 1.8 million emergency department (ED) visits per year and represents significant health care burden and costs. The primary objective of this study is to determine the feasibility of employing a “smart” inhaler connected to a mobile application to track asthma inhaler use after an ED visit. Future goals are to determine if regular daily use of a steroid inhaler results in less rescue medication use, and to connect this usage with real time environmental data to build a risk profile to alert patients of conditions that increase risk of asthma exacerbation.
