Mobile app can help manage uncontrolled asthma
A mobile app can help manage uncontrolled asthma by measuring lung function and giving feedback in the form of automated and doctor-prescribed treatment recommendation, say researchers.
People suffering from uncontrolled asthma frequently experience breathing difficulties or asthma attacks and inadequate management and or correct use of medicine are common causes of this situation.
A study by researchers found that a treatment adjustment algorithm based on lung function and symptoms in a mobile phone can be an efficient tool in managing uncontrolled asthma.
For fuss-free measuring of lung function, the phone connects to a wireless spirometer and the app can register respiratory symptoms and provide visual feedback on treatment, said researchers, in a paper recently published.
The system called ' AsthmaTuner" analyses lung function and symptoms in accordance with asthma-care guidelines, said the research leader.
The users also receive a picture of the inhaler that is to be used and instructions on whether the medication is to be maintained, increased or decreased, he added.
AsthmaTuner enables the measuring of lung function via a wireless spirometer connected to a mobile-phone app.
The study comprised 77 uncontrolled asthma sufferers aged 6 onwards. Around half of these were children and adolescents.
We could see that asthma symptoms improved more with the digital tool than they did with traditional care. Adult patients who used the tool at least once a week also more often remembered to take their medicines, he said.
this is only for your information, kindly take the advice of your doctor for medicines, exercises and so on.
