Detailed Description

A mobile environment to improve the process of an integrated treatment of people with asthma will be identified, developed, introduced and clinically evaluated. The study will include 120 patients diagnosed with asthma that is poorly managed. The study will use the ACT (Asthma Control Test) questionnaire and an evaluation questionnaire that will cover issues regarding the satisfaction of subjects with asthma care offered. Subjects with a PEF meter, will be able to enter the value of PEF (Peak Expiratory Flow).

In addition to this, users can enter values (1) physical activity (type, duration, intensity), and (2) food (type, quantity).
