Self-Management Using Smartphone Application for Chronic Disease Care in Real siTuation (SMART-Asthma): Adult

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Bronchial asthma is an chronic airway disease with bronchial hypersensitivity due to inflammation and bronchial muscle contraction. It can cause recurrent dyspnea, cough, wheezing and severe life-threatening attack and lower quality of life. In addition, it make large amount of socioeconomic loss as about 3.7 billion US dollars.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| The efficacy of smartphone application for asthma control test (ACT)and quality of life | Using ACT and ALQL score (QoL), we will investigate the efficacy of smanrtphone application for control of asthma compared to smartphone app. using group and smartphone app. non-using group | at least 2 times a week | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| FEV1 (Forced expiratory volume in 1 second ) and FVC (Forced vital capacity) | Using spirometer to check the variation of FEV1,we will investigate the efficacy of smanrtphone application for control of asthma compared to smartphone app. using group and smartphone app. non-using group | at least 1 time a month | 
| Acute exacerbation of bronchial asthma | Using medical record and questionaire of acute exacerbation,we will investigate the efficacy of smanrtphone application for control of asthma compared to smartphone app. using group and smartphone app. non-using group | at least 1 time a week |
