Summary
eHealth monitoring shows promise for pediatric asthma care, with medication monitoring and digital environments being particularly effective. Future research should combine multiple monitoring domains for personalized clinical decision support.
Area of Science:
- Digital Health
- Pediatric Pulmonology
- Biomedical Informatics
Background:
- eHealth monitoring offers objective assessment of pediatric asthma symptoms in daily life.
- Effective pediatric asthma control requires close follow-up to prevent exacerbations and improve quality of life.
- While eHealth technologies show promise in pediatric asthma care, comprehensive evaluations are lacking.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify eHealth technologies for monitoring and treating pediatric asthma.
- To explore the relevance and potential of various monitoring domains for future research.
Main Methods:
- A scoping review followed PRISMA-ScR guidelines.
- Systematic searches were conducted across multiple databases (PubMed, IEEE, Scopus, etc.).
- Data from 370 manuscripts were analyzed descriptively and narratively.
Main Results:
- Ten monitoring domains were identified, with medication monitoring and digital environment showing accelerated growth.
- Intervention outcomes suggest eHealth monitoring is non-inferior and potentially superior to traditional methods.
- Limited studies focused on multiparameter monitoring strategies (using three or more domains).
Conclusions:
- eHealth research in pediatric asthma spans diverse monitoring domains and approaches.
- Medication monitoring, lung function, and digital environment domains show significant efficacy.
- Future research should integrate hospital-based diagnostics into home settings and combine monitoring domains for personalized care.

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...

Inhaled medications are crucial for managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. They are essential for effective treatment and control, ensuring optimal respiratory health and well-being. Inhaled medication delivers drugs directly to the lungs, providing a rapid onset of action and reducing systemic side effects compared to oral or injectable medications. Three primary types of inhalation devices are used to administer these medications: nebulizers, metered-dose inhalers...
