A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This research aims to develop and validate a digital platform called SMART@Home for managing asthma in children aged 11-17. The study will focus on creating a user-friendly app that connects with Bluetooth-enabled devices to track disease activity and integrates with electronic health records for better treatment planning. The goal is to enhance patient engagement and provide objective data to clinicians, ultimately improving asthma management. A pilot user validation trial will be conducted to ensure the platform meets its development goals.
