Read our Asthma research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers have created a smartphone app called SMART@Home that helps young people with asthma track their symptoms, take their medications, and share breathing test results with their doctor. This trial will test whether the app helps teens manage their asthma better over 6 months. Half of the participants will use the new app, and the other half will receive their usual asthma care to see if the app makes a real difference.
Most digital tools designed to help patients manage chronic conditions like asthma haven't worked well because they don't connect properly with doctors' records and they're hard to use. This trial exists to test whether a newly redesigned app that links directly to your doctor's system and is easier to use can actually help teens stay on top of their asthma.

If you join this study, you'll be randomly assigned to either use the SMART@Home app or receive your usual asthma care for 6 months. If you're in the app group, you'll track your symptoms and medications using your phone, use a small wireless breathing device to share test results, and follow an asthma action plan on the app. Your doctor will be able to see your data to help guide your treatment. You'll have regular check-ins with the research team throughout the study.
