Using a mobile app to monitor vital signs in asthma patients
Official title: Extraction of Vital Signs using a Telehealth Application for Asthma - EViTA-AThe purpose of this grant is to evaluate mobile devices to extract vitals signs to monitor patients with Asthma
Funded at M5 Enterprise, LLC D/b/a Emedical Sentry · NIH-10699530 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new app that helps people with asthma check their vital signs from home using video, so they can get quick help during an asthma attack and stay connected with their doctors for better care.

Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Ideal candidates for this research are individuals diagnosed with asthma who require regular monitoring of their condition.
✕Less likely to help
Patients with asthma who are already well-controlled and do not experience frequent attacks may not benefit significantly from this research.
What this research studies
This research focuses on developing a telehealth application that captures vital signs remotely to monitor patients with asthma. By utilizing video-based technology, the project aims to enhance the detection of asthma attacks and improve patient management. The goal is to provide timely medical intervention for severe cases while allowing for continued observation at home for less critical situations. This innovative approach seeks to improve healthcare delivery and accessibility for asthma patients.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to better management of asthma, reducing the frequency and severity of attacks.
How similar studies have gone: Other research has shown promise in using telehealth technologies for chronic disease management, indicating potential success for this approach.
