eAMS Trial Summary

This trial will test a smartphone app to help manage asthma and will include an electronic asthma self-management app.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for asthma patients aged 16 or older, identified by a validated electronic record search. It's open to those who haven't received an Asthma Action Plan (AAP) in the last six months. Pregnant individuals are excluded as AAP recommendations may differ for them.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests an Electronic Asthma Management System (eAMS). Patients use a smartphone app to complete questionnaires that help doctors assess asthma control and advise on medication changes, generating an electronic AAP based on responses.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves using an electronic management system rather than medication, traditional side effects aren't expected. However, there might be indirect consequences like anxiety or stress from technology use or data misinterpretation.

eAMS Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Electronic Asthma Management System: eAMS Intervention eAMS consists of simple questionnaire completed either through an app on a patient's smartphone or tablet computer, a computerized clinical decision support system which then processes these data to produce a set of asthma care recommendations for the clinician, and a printable asthma action plan that is given to patients. eAMS will also provide access to a patient-oriented asthma management tool called Breathe.
Group II: ControlActive Control1 Intervention
Electronic Asthma Management System: eAMS - Control At control sites, eligible clinicians will be offered access to the web-based clinician-oriented asthma action plan (AAP) educational module produced by the Lung Association, copies of the Canadian Asthma Guidelines, and standard fillable paper-based AAPs (the eAMS will be offered after study end).
