November 26, 2013 updated by: Jongha Park, Inje University

Self-Management Using Smartphone Application for Chronic Disease Care in Real siTuation (SMART-Asthma) in Adult

Bronchial asthma is an chronic airway disease with bronchial hypersensitivity due to inflammation and bronchial muscle contraction. It can cause recurrent dyspnea, cough, wheezing and severe life-threatening attack and lower quality of life. In addition, it make large amount of socioeconomic loss as about 3.7 billion US dollars.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The efficacy of smartphone application for asthma control test (ACT)and quality of life
Time Frame: at least 2 times a week
Using ACT and ALQL score (QoL), we will investigate the efficacy of smanrtphone application for control of asthma compared to smartphone app. using group and smartphone app. non-using group
at least 2 times a week

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
FEV1 (Forced expiratory volume in 1 second ) and FVC (Forced vital capacity)
Time Frame: at least 1 time a month
Using spirometer to check the variation of FEV1,we will investigate the efficacy of smanrtphone application for control of asthma compared to smartphone app. using group and smartphone app. non-using group
at least 1 time a month
Acute exacerbation of bronchial asthma
Time Frame: at least 1 time a week
Using medical record and questionaire of acute exacerbation,we will investigate the efficacy of smanrtphone application for control of asthma compared to smartphone app. using group and smartphone app. non-using group
