My Asthma Biologics
Purpose
The purpose of the app is to facilitate the appropriate exchange of data to support close monitoring of patients receiving biologics to track their clinical course and continue to justify eligibility for biologics. Patients are prompted to enter information on their asthma control and exacerbation history to facilitate clinical review. It will enable clinicians to manage patients remotely at scale.
Patients also benefit from digital tools that can improve their compliance with asthma medication and self-management on a continuing basis out of hospital, using features such as inhaler technique videos, personalised asthma action plan, peak flow monitoring and steroid weaning plan.
