Summary

A total of 96 recruited children (aged 6 months to 3 years) with mild or moderate persistent asthma who were on regular inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) were randomly allocated to receive electronic monitoring combined with instant messaging software -based weekly feeding back adherence and reminders to keep taking the ICS (intervention group) and to receive electronic monitoring only (control group). The device-monitored adherence rates and caregiver-reported adherence rates were analyzed.

intervention group

All the device-monitored adherence data from the previous week were downloaded from the background database and calculated by a qualified asthma nurse. Through free IMS (WeChat; Tencent, Shenzhen, CHN) available on mobile, the nurse offered feedback to the caregivers weekly according to the adherence rate and reminded them to keep taking the ICS. Caregivers were asked monthly "Has our child inhaled the medicine according to the doctor's instructions?" and "How about the frequency?" by telephone.
