Teaching older adults to recognize airway tightness in asthma

This trial is testing a training program designed to help people over 60 with asthma learn to recognize when their airways are becoming tight or blocked. The program uses simple breathing measurements and personalized coaching to help you notice these changes earlier and manage your asthma better. Research shows that older adults often don't notice airway problems as easily as younger people, so this training could make a real difference in how well you control your symptoms.

Asthma is more dangerous for older adults—you're four times more likely to have serious complications or need emergency care than younger people with asthma. Many older adults miss early warning signs that their airways are tightening, which means they don't treat problems quickly enough. This program aims to improve your ability to notice these early signals so you can take action before symptoms become severe.
