2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: ActiveExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Active arm participants will be sent the same devices, also at no cost, and asked to use them in the same manner. Only the active arm will have access to Study App features for asthma self-management, including: "Smart nudges" that may promote proactive asthma self-management Asthma symptom and trigger tracking Evidence-based asthma education The ability to photograph and easily reference an asthma action plan from a healthcare provider. A 90-day summary of self-reported asthma symptoms/triggers and device-recorded heart rate and respiratory rate. This summary can be shared with providers. In-app viewing of active asthma medications, refills available, and phone numbers to call for refills (subject to prescription benefits). Active participants can, but are not required to, use the Study App in Year 2. Those who choose to may keep using study devices in Year 2, provided they meet requirements to keep devices. These requirements are the same for both arms.
Group II: PassiveActive Control1 Intervention
Passive arm participants will be sent two devices, at no cost-an Apple Watch and a Beddit Sleep Monitor. These are commercially available and have not been modified for this study. Participants will be asked to use these devices regularly throughout study Year 1. Participants can optionally continue to use devices during Year 2, if they have met requirements during Year 1 to keep study devices. To be eligible to keep devices, participants must meet pre-specified levels of adherence to study procedures. Access to the Study App will be provided to all participants. It will be used to administer informed consent and electronic patient reported outcome (ePRO) measures, and for other study purposes. However, passive participants will not have access to the Study App features designed to support asthma self-management.
