The Electronic Asthma Management System
Sponsor: Unity Health Toronto
Summary
This study is an extension of a pilot study in which investigators developed and tested a computerized tool to help physicians to determine if their patients' asthma is well controlled, advise them on medication changes required according to the current level of control, and automatically generate an electronic version of the AAP, all based on patient responses to a questionnaire completed by patients on a tablet computer. In this phase patients will have the ability to complete the questionnaire on their smartphones, through a pre-downloaded app and will have access to an electronic asthma self-management app.
