Telemedicine in asthma

After reviewing the results of 270 studies that evaluated the success of supported selfmanagement a  team led by the Asthma UK Centre for Applied Research at the University of Edinburgh, Queen Mary's University of London and University of Manchester concluded that it is time to take a bold new approach and to take advantage of digital health solutions that could transform the way asthma care is delivered and support selfmanagement. Digital action plans, smart inhalers and automated GP alerts are just some of the ways asthma care could be brought up to date and reduce the risk of potentially fatal asthma attacks.
