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 whether a smartphone app called Hailie, combined with digital sensors on inhalers and support from an asthma care coordinator, can help families better manage their child's asthma. Half of the families will receive the app plus regular check-ins from a coordinator who uses the app data to give advice and support. The other half will receive the app to track inhaler use but without the coordinator's active support, so researchers can compare which approach works better.
Many children with asthma don't take their daily preventive medications as prescribed, which leads to more symptoms, missed school, and emergency visits. This trial wants to see if having a care coordinator monitor a child's inhaler use through an app and reach out with personalized support can help families stay on track and better control their child's asthma.

If you join the active intervention group, your child will receive small digital sensors attached to their daily controller and rescue inhalers, and you'll download the Hailie app on your smartphone. An asthma coordinator will regularly review the app data showing when your child uses their inhalers and how their asthma symptoms are controlled, then contact you with personalized advice and support based on national asthma guidelines. If you're in the comparison group, you'll have the app and sensors to track inhaler use, but the app will only collect data silently without active coordinator support. The study is happening at Lurie Children's Hospital clinics and will evaluate whether the app with coordinator support helps families manage asthma better.
