NCT03273933

Brief Summary

Randomized clinical trial to assess acquisition and maintenance of paediatric asthma control through innovative devices supporting usual care. In the first study arm, a new application (DragONE) for iOS and Android will be only used for patient monitoring. In the second study arm, a small portable device (SmartONE) will also be connected to the DragONE APP, for daily assessment of the peak expiratory flow (PEF). The study duration is 12 weeks. The main outcome of the study is the Childhood Asthma Control Test (C-ACT) score, assessed once every 4 weeks for 12 weeks.
