This chapter starts by introducing the current unmet needs in asthma care and the potential role of digital health in revolutionizing how patients with asthma are managed. We will specifically approach the use of digital solutions in asthma to (i) improve surveillance at a population level, (ii) improve diagnosis and stratification at an individual level, and (iii) promote better management, namely through the use of mHealth, electronic patient-reported outcome measures (ePROMs), clinical decision support system (CDSS), and disease registries. In the end, we propose a digital health-integrated asthma care pathway aiming to achieve better patient-centered outcomes and reduce healthcare access inequalities.

摘要

This chapter starts by introducing the current unmet needs in asthma care and the potential role of digital health in revolutionizing how patients with asthma are managed. We will specifically approach the use of digital solutions in asthma to (i) improve surveillance at a population level, (ii) improve diagnosis and stratification at an individual level, and (iii) promote better management, namely through the use of mHealth, electronic patient-reported outcome measures (ePROMs), clinical decision support system (CDSS), and disease registries. In the end, we propose a digital health-integrated asthma care pathway aiming to achieve better patient-centered outcomes and reduce healthcare access inequalities.
