Summary

The onset of smartphone usage has provided new opportunities for managing patients outside the walls of healthcare facilities. The development of asthma-specific smartphone applications represents an excellent area for partnership between developers and medical teams for delivering therapeutic education at the required time and in a personalised way. Within this context, the overall goal of the AsthmaTrain study is to perform a first, small pilot study comparing a new French-language chat-bot guided asthma patient education programme (the 'Vik' application) with the classic, authority-approved patient education program at the University Hospitals of Montpellier, Montpellier, France.

The primary objective is to compare a population of adult patients with asthma and participating in a standard patient education programme with a similar population participating in Vik-guided education programme in terms of change in overall scores on the Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ).

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Standard patient education

The comparator intervention is the usual therapeutic training for patients (ETP) cursus currently used in the General Pulmonology unit at the Arnaud De Villeneuve Hospital, Montpellier, France and approved by the French Regional Health Authority for the Occitanie Region \[Agence Régional de Santé Occitanie\].

OTHER

Chatbot patient education

The experimental intervention consists in providing the patient with access to a specific version of the "Vik-Asthme" chat bot for the duration of the study. Should the patient be unable to use or refuse to use the chatbot, the reasons for refusal will be documented and the patient will proceed with the comparator intervention.
