A Study of Remote Asthma Management Using an Integrated Artificial Intelligence-assisted EHR Dashboard and Mobile Device Compared With Usual Asthma Care to Treat 6-17 Year Old Patients

Prior treatment

• Hyposensitization therapy for \> 3 months prior to study enrollment.
• Participation in any other interventional studies for asthma within 1 month prior to study.

Other illness

• Major medical problems prohibiting study participation and inability to perform study procedures (including spirometry); suspected symptoms of exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO), tracheobronchial foreign body at or about the incidence date of asthma, wheezing occurring only in response to anesthesia or medications, bullous emphysema or pulmonary fibrosis on chest radiograph, PiZZ alpha1-antitrypsin, cystic fibrosis, or other major chest disease such as severe kyphoscoliosis or bronchiectasis.

Other

• Pediatric participants who do not meet the eligibility criteria described above will be excluded and those will be excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply:
• Pediatric participant pregnancy.

• Clinician participants are eligible to be included in the study only if all of the following criteria apply:
• Employed as consultant or nurse practitioner at study sites.
• Able to provide written consent.
• Are willing to follow recommendations to schedule/see participant and their caregiver for regular asthma follow-up care every 3-6 months.
  • All asthma care coordinators who are involved in the usual care of pediatric participants will also be recruited for inclusion in the study.
  • Pediatric participants are eligible to be included in the study only if all of the following criteria apply:
• Ages 6-17 years old with diagnosis of asthma.
• Have a caregiver who is willing to participate alongside pediatric participant and to have regular asthma follow-up care every 3-6 months.
• Adolescent participants ages 13-17 years and their caregivers are able to give written informed consent; or child participants ages 7-12 years are able to provide assent and their caregivers are able to give written informed consent (subjects who are 6 years old will be waived).
• Both participant and caregiver are able to read and write in English.
• Receive pediatric primary care at study sites from participating study clinician.
• Access for caregiver and/or adolescent participants to an Android or iPhone with Wi-Fi access and availability for at least monthly use.
• Active asthma defined by at least one clinic visit with a diagnosis of asthma per EHR or on active asthma control or rescue medication in the past 12 months. Priority will be given to those with persistent asthma on inhaled corticosteroids therapy or those with poorly controlled asthma defined by any of the following criteria in the past 12 months, except item v (past 2-week period); i. Asthma Control Test for adolescents ≥ 12 years or Childhood Asthma Control Test for children \< 12 years (score\< 20); ii. ED visit for asthma; or iii. Hospitalization for asthma; or iv. Unscheduled outpatient visit for asthma requiring oral corticosteroid use; or v. Asthma symptoms at the screening interview, including 1) more than 2 days per week shortness of breath, wheezing, chest tightness, or 2) more than 1 night awakening due to asthma in the past 2-week period.
• Participant had their latest asthma follow-up visit more than 3 months prior to the screening date of the study.
