Conducting a Randomized Controlled Trial for A Novel Patient-Facing Mobile Platform to Collect and Implement Patient-Reported Outcomes and Voice Biomarkers in Underserved Adult Patients With Asthma
Montefiore Medical Center
Summary
The objective of this study is to conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to compare the adapted and refined ASTHMAXcel Voice platform to usual care (UC). It is hypothesized by the investigator team that ASTHMAXcel Voice will be associated with improved clinical and process outcomes, asthma quality of life (QOL), medication adherence, and self-efficacy as compared to UC.
Description
Poor outcomes for minority patients with asthma have been linked to poverty and other social determinants of health (SDOH), environmental exposures, and poor self-management. In a previous Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)-funded study, the researchers developed and pilot tested ASTHMAXcel PRO, a mobile app that promotes self-management of asthma (NCT03847142). The app was optimized for outpatient settings and promoted asthma self-management through the collection of patient-reported outcomes (PROs), animated videos, goal setting, personalized algorithms, and push notifications…
