A mobile app to help underserved adults with asthma manage their condition.
A novel patient-facing mobile platform to collect and implement patient-reported outcomes and voice biomarkers in underserved adult patients with asthma
This study is creating a helpful mobile app for adults with asthma, especially those who may not have easy access to care, to help them manage their condition better by using their voice to check their breathing and offering personalized tips and support.

What this research studies
This research focuses on developing a user-friendly mobile platform designed to assist underserved adult patients with asthma in managing their health. The platform will utilize vocal biomarker technology to assess respiratory function through voice samples, allowing for personalized feedback and support. It aims to enhance patient engagement by collecting patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and providing educational resources, goal-setting tools, and decision-making support. By addressing social determinants of health and improving self-management skills, this initiative seeks to improve asthma care for minority populations.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are underserved adult patients with asthma who may struggle with medication adherence and self-management.
Not a fit: Patients without asthma or those who do not have access to mobile technology may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly improve asthma management and health outcomes for underserved patients.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown promise in using mobile platforms and vocal biomarker technology for respiratory conditions, indicating potential success for this approach.
