NCT ID NCT06935084
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Sep 09, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study is testing a mobile app called ASTHMAXcel Voice to see if it helps adults with asthma better control their symptoms. The app sends reminders and educational content to users. Two hundred adults with persistent asthma will either use the app or receive usual care, and researchers will compare asthma control, quality of life, and medication adherence over six months.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this app could help people with asthma better manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small trial testing a behavior-change app, not a new drug. The app may not lead to significant improvements in asthma control.
