Summary
The investigators aim to study the clinical efficacy of a mobile health application, AsthmaCare, and it's impact on long term health outcomes for asthma. AsthmaCare is a novel application developed by members of the study team that was previously studied in a pilot study of 21 children/teenagers 9-16 years old. During the 30 day pilot study, there was universal usage and acceptance by all participants of this novel form of technology and asthma management. This current study aims to measure clinical outcomes for users of the app.
