Intervention model: PARALLEL
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of using a mobile health intervention to improve adherence to asthma medication among adolescents in an urban clinic setting. The intervention consists of an inhaler sensor strap to monitor asthma inhaler use and a mobile phone application to remind and incentivize patients to use their medication. This study will assess the feasibility and acceptability of this intervention to patients.
