Area of Science:

Digital Health
Asthma Management
Patient-Reported Outcomes

Background:

ASTHMAXcel PRO is an enhanced mobile application for asthma education.
It provides guideline-based education and collects patient-reported outcomes (PROs).
The app aims to improve user experience in asthma self-management.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the ASTHMAXcel PRO application through field testing.
To assess the app's impact on patient satisfaction, usability, and usage.
To conduct formative and summative evaluations of the mobile health tool.

Main Methods:

Twenty-eight adult asthma patients used ASTHMAXcel PRO for four weeks.
User satisfaction (QUIS) and technology acceptance (UTAUT) were measured at baseline and four weeks.
Semi-structured interviews gathered qualitative patient feedback.

Main Results:

High baseline satisfaction and acceptance scores were observed.
Significant improvements in UTAUT and QUIS scores were noted after four weeks (p < 0.02).
Patients found the app helpful, informative, and easy to use.

Conclusions:

ASTHMAXcel PRO demonstrated significant increases in user satisfaction and technology adoption.
The application is viable and addresses usability challenges in mobile health.
It shows potential for improving asthma self-management through digital tools.
