Automated Adherence Feedback for High Risk Children With Asthma
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Daily Text message reminder and Inhaled steroid canister monitor for Asthma. Completed, enrolled 41 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study sets out to assess whether daily text message reminders help to enhance the consistency of use of controller medications following hospitalization for pediatric asthma patients ages 4-11 and their families. Text message reminders will be delivered to a subject's cell phone for those in the intervention group and electronic monitors will placed on the controller inhalers at the time of hospital discharge to track medication use over time in both the intervention and the regular care group. Families will complete surveys on the day of enrollment (in person), day 30 (telephone) and day 60 (telephone) on aspects of asthma care including asthma knowledge, medication routines, who is responsible for asthma care, and medication beliefs.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Subjects in the intervention arm will receive once daily text messages at the time of their choice or at a default time of 7am. The text message will remind them to give their child their controller medication and provide a helpful information on asthma controller use.
An electronic monitor will be affixed to subjects' inhaled steroid canister and families will be instructed to use the inhaler as directed by their physician. Subjects will not receive daily text messages.The canister monitor, the Propeller sensor (Propeller, Madison, Wisconsin) is an FDA-approved, portable device which affixes to the top of most metered dose inhaler canisters. The devices records the number and time of each inhaler actuation and transmits this information to either a smart phone or cellular modem. Data is then sent via the cellular network to the secure Propeller server. The data will then be downloaded monthly.
