The ASTHMA-Educator: A Novel Algorithmic Software Tool to Help Manage Asthma

Through this study, the investigators developed the ASTHMA-Educator mobile application, and
evaluated its use among adult asthma patients at Montefiore.

Through this study, the investigators developed the ASTHMA-Educator mobile application, and
evaluated its use through 2 phases: 1) Phase 1 = process outcomes evaluation with 30
patients); and 2) Phase 2 (longitudinal clinical evaluation with 40 patients receiving the
intervention at baseline, 2 months, 4 months, and 6 months). The study's primary outcome is
asthma control.

Inclusion Criteria: Adults (>18 years) with: (a) severe asthma (i.e. at least one
asthma-related ED visit and/or hospitalization in the previous year); (b) access to a
smartphone with short message service (SMS) capability; (c) English speaking; (d) able to
give informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria: (a) use of oral corticosteroids in the 2 weeks prior to the baseline
visit; (b) pregnancy; (c) severe psychiatric or cognitive problems that would prohibit an
individual from understanding and completing the protocol; and (d) patients that previously
received the ASTHMAXcel application.
