This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a smartphone app called Asthma SMART that's designed specifically for teenagers with persistent asthma. Half of the participants will use the app every day for 6 months along with their regular asthma care, while the other half will continue with standard care alone. Researchers want to see if the app is easy to use, helpful, and actually gets teenagers to stick with their asthma self-management routines.
Many teenagers struggle to manage their asthma day-to-day and remember to track their symptoms and medications. This study hopes to find out whether an app that's engaging and easy to use can help young people take better control of their asthma and prevent flare-ups.

If you're selected, you'll be randomly assigned to either use the app or continue with your regular asthma care. If you're in the app group, you'll be asked to use the app every day for 6 months on your own phone—it's designed to be quick and easy to fit into your routine. Either way, researchers will follow up with you over the 6 months to see how well the app works and what you think of it, through check-ins about your asthma symptoms, medications, and hospital visits.
