Scripps Health Asthma Coach for Android
It runs on the URXmobile System platform, an intelligent and interactive decision support and alerting system designed specifically for chronic condition self-management.
The program is completely proactive – meaning that it does not require the user to have to remember to initiate any activity or task – and helps people quickly and easily do the things that are proven to improve asthma control. Each user’s experience is personalized, which ensures that the program is delivering relevant and useful evidence-based information and coaching. This approach makes it super easy for users to improve their knowledge while completing important tasks in seconds.
Most users will interact with Scripps Asthma Coach two or three times per week. It might be less if they’re doing well and their asthma is controlled or a little more if they need additional support.
It boils down to this: by simply spending a few minutes per week responding to the intelligent and proactive alerts, users will keep their asthma well controlled and will get early warning on a variety of potential issues. People will live healthier lives and avoid excessive visits to see their doctor as well as trips to Urgent Care and the Emergency Room.
Scripps Asthma Coach is a special custom program developed in conjunction with the Scripps Clinic Division of Asthma, Allergy & Immunology. It is for the exclusive use of Scripps Health asthma patients.
To participate in a clinical trial. To be honest I didn't have any expectations of it. I have had moderate to severe asthma for over 30 years. I figured my poor control despite multiple inhaled and po medications (and yearly foray into prednisone bursts and tapers and at home HHN) was just a factor of my terrible lungs. I am also a RN. I am well informed and have a chest medicine doc who is attentive and wonderful. I had no idea I was misusing my short acting controller until this app and it's constant vigilance of my symptoms, changed my long held patterns. For the first time in many many years I am in control of my symptoms. It's fantastic. As an added bonus there are real and good humored people on the messaging end of the app as I found out when i thought I was getting automated responses . I cannot recommend this app enough.
Good reminders, good contacts as required for support, good explanation of drugs and what user can do themselves. Highly recommended for those new to management of asthma.
Very good app, no crashes, conflicts, glitches, just helps you take charge & manage your asthma. :)
