Smart inhalers and video visits could transform Kids' asthma care
NCT ID NCT06902766
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study explores whether using connected inhalers that track medication use, combined with video doctor visits when problems arise, can manage childhood asthma as well as standard in-person care. Fifty children aged 4 to 12 with asthma will take part for 8 months. Half will use the digital system, and half will receive usual care. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and improves asthma control and quality of life.
