Summary
Asynchronous digital health interventions offer a convenient way to review asthma care, improving patient outcomes. This systematic review assesses their effectiveness and explores patient and healthcare professional views on their role.
Area of Science:
- Digital Health
- Respiratory Medicine
- Systematic Reviews
Background:
- Asthma management requires regular reviews, but face-to-face consultations present practical barriers.
- Asynchronous digital health interventions offer a potential solution for convenient and efficient asthma reviews.
- Maintaining communication between patients and healthcare professionals is crucial for improving asthma outcomes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a mixed-methods systematic review on the effectiveness of asynchronous digital health interventions for asthma review.
- To explore patient and healthcare professional perspectives on using these digital interventions in asthma care.
Main Methods:
- Searched multiple databases (MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, PsycInfo, CINAHL, Cochrane Library) from 2001 to present.
- Included studies on asynchronous digital health interventions for asthma review, single or mixed modes.
- Assessed methodological quality using established checklists (Downs and Black, CASP, MMAT).
- Synthesized quantitative (narrative) and qualitative (thematic) data separately, then integrated findings.
Main Results:
- This section is to be filled once the review is completed.
Conclusions:
- Findings will offer insights into the role of asynchronous digital health interventions in routine asthma care.
- This review aims to inform the integration of digital health tools for better asthma management.

2.7K
Asthma is a chronic respiratory ailment that requires careful management due to its varying symptoms and influencing factors. It is characterized by airway inflammation, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and reversible airflow obstruction, leading to symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. The symptom frequency and intensity may vary considerably over time. It is also linked to immune system responses to allergens and irritants, highlighting the complex...

01:20Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management
501
Asthma is a chronic pulmonary condition involving inflammation of the airways, hyper-reactivity, and reversible obstruction of the airways. This condition can significantly impact a person's quality of life, making breathing difficult and leading to distressing symptoms.
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.
