The Use of the Propeller Health Platform to Improve Inhaled Corticosteroid (ICS) Use Among Adults With Uncontrolled Persistent Asthma

Summary

This is a behavioral randomized controlled trial of adults with uncontrolled persistent asthma that tests if the Propeller Health sensor, mobile application, and dashboard can improve adherence to ICS.

Conditions

• Asthma

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Electronic Medication Monitors on ICS and SABA - Active Mode

The patients in the intervention group will have sensors that are "active", so that these patients receive reminders about when to use their inhalers medications.

BEHAVIORAL

Electronic Medication Monitors on ICS and SABA - Silent Mode

The patients in the control group will have sensors that are "silent", so that these patients do not receive reminders about when to use their inhalers medications.

BEHAVIORAL

Asthma App Tracking of ICS/SABA Usage - Active Mode

Patients in the intervention group will have access to their medication usage information (as collected by their sensors) via their Propeller Health applications.

BEHAVIORAL

Asthma App Tracking of ICS/SABA Usage - Silent Mode

Patients in the control group will not have access to their medication usage information (as collected by their sensors) via their Propeller Health applications.

BEHAVIORAL

NorthShore Connect Real Time ICS and SABA Usage Feedback - Yes

Patients in the intervention will receive feedback from the Research Nurse about their medication use and asthma control status.

BEHAVIORAL

NorthShore Connect Real Time ICS and SABA Usage Feedback - No

Patients in the intervention will not receive feedback from the Research Nurse about their medication use and asthma control status.

BEHAVIORAL

Asthma Nurse Monthly Phone Calls for ICS/SABA Usage Feedback - Yes

Patients in the intervention group will receive monthly calls from the Research Nurse to obtain feedback information about the Propeller Health Platform.

BEHAVIORAL

Asthma Nurse Monthly Phone Calls for ICS/SABA Usage Feedback - No

Patients in the control group will not receive monthly calls from the Research Nurse to obtain feedback information about the Propeller Health Platform.
