Can a phone app and inhaler sensors tame childhood asthma?
NCT ID NCT06820593
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a mobile app, inhaler sensors, and remote coaching from an asthma coordinator can help children ages 4-17 better manage their asthma. Eighty parent-child pairs will be split into two groups: one gets the full digital toolkit with coaching, the other gets only the sensors without app features. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and acceptable for improving asthma control at home.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Digital Asthma Intervention (mHealth app and sensors) with remote patient monitoring
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that combining a smartphone app, inhaler sensors, and remote coaching helps children better manage their asthma and reduces symptoms.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small feasibility study with only 80 participants, so results may not apply to all children. The intervention relies on technology and caregiver engagement, which may not work for everyone.
