New study aims to cut asthma inhaler carbon emissions with smart prescribing tool
NCT ID NCT07638735
First seen Jun 16, 2026
Summary
This study tests a computer tool called eAMS-Eco that helps doctors choose asthma inhalers with a lower carbon footprint. The tool adds environmental information to existing asthma treatment recommendations. Researchers will see if using this tool in four clinics reduces inhaler-related carbon emissions and costs, while keeping asthma control stable. About 95 patients and their doctors are taking part.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Climate-Conscious Clinical Decision Support System for Asthma Management (eAMS-Eco)
What this could lead to
If successful, this tool could help doctors prescribe inhalers that are better for the environment while maintaining good asthma control, potentially reducing healthcare's carbon footprint.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 95 participants across four clinics. It focuses on prescribing behavior, not direct health outcomes, so the impact on patient health or the environment may be limited or not generalizable.
