    Asthma Academy, an interactive educational app, effectively improved adolescent asthma management by enhancing engagement and knowledge. This intervention supports the crucial transition from pediatric to adult healthcare, improving outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Pulmonology
    • Health Informatics
    • Adolescent Medicine

    Background:

    • Asthma is a prevalent chronic condition in children and adolescents, with some experiencing severe exacerbations into adulthood.
    • Adolescents often harbor misconceptions about asthma management, impacting adherence and outcomes.
    • Effective patient education is crucial for improving engagement, self-efficacy, and clinical results during the pediatric to adult care transition.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate an interactive educational intervention for adolescents with asthma.
    • To assess the user acceptance and performance of the Asthma Academy application.
    • To facilitate knowledge transfer and improve self-efficacy in young asthma patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of Asthma Academy, an interactive, animation video-based educational application hosted on the public cloud.

  • Utilized a cost-effective simulation of caregiver-patient interactions accessible across diverse socioeconomic and educational backgrounds.
  • Conducted a group study with 20 adolescents over 8-10 weeks, supplementing the app with regular check-ups.

    • Main Results:

    • The Asthma Academy application demonstrated high user acceptance and effective performance.
    • Observations indicated significantly higher levels of engagement among adolescent participants.
    • The intervention facilitated systematic dissemination of essential asthma healthcare information.

    Conclusions:

    • Asthma Academy serves as a valuable tool for educating adolescents with asthma.
    • The application's interactive and accessible design promotes better engagement and knowledge acquisition.
    • This intervention supports improved asthma self-management and potentially reduces healthcare costs during the critical transition period.
