Feasibility and Acceptability of the Propeller Monitoring System in Children With Persistent Asthma

NCT03648450 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 50

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The main hypothesis of this study is to see if children and adolescents with poorly controlled asthma will find the Propeller electronic monitoring device is feasible and acceptable, and will result in improved medication adherence and asthma control. Preliminary studies indicate that Propeller can improve medication adherence rates in children with asthma and reduce the number of days of reliever medication used. It also has been shown to reduce missed days of school and hospitalizations due to asthma exacerbations. The Propeller device is a sensor that fits over inhalers and uses Bluetooth connection to cell phones to remind patients to take their medication. It also records use of the controller and rescue inhalers, allowing for parents, physicians, and patients to get a fuller and more accurate picture of their adherence to treatment and severity of disease. With improved adherence, asthma control should improve, resulting in a decreased costs and use of services.
