Medication Monitoring and Mobile App
Arm Description
Patients will be given an inhaler sensor to monitor medication use and a sham version of the mobile app that will not include reminders or incentives. Intervention: inhaler sensor
Patients will be given an inhaler sensor to monitor medication use and a mobile phone application with reminders to allow self-management of medication use. Interventions: inhaler sensor and mobile application for asthma adherence
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Real-time medication adherence in patients using mobile app compared to standard care.
Analysis of real-time medication use data in the experimental [app + sensor] arm vs the sensor only arm.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Asthma control in patients using mobile app compared to standard care
Analysis of the ACT [asthma control test] at baseline and follow up for patients in each arm to assess changes in asthma control with use of the mobile app.
Change in lung function with use of a mobile health tool for asthma adherence
Measure change in spirometry by comparing force expiratory volume at one second [FEV1] and forced vital capacity [FVC] at baseline and 12 week visit.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the use of a mobile health intervention to improve adherence to asthma medication among adolescents. The intervention consists of an inhaler sensor strap to monitor asthma inhaler use and a mobile phone application to remind and incentivize patients to use their medication. This study will assess medication use throughout a 12 week study in patients who receive a mobile app with reminders, asthma control as measured by the ACT [asthma control test], and lung function as measured by spirometry.
