Digital Medicine Data Shows Asthma Assessment Guidelines Are Outdated, According to Propeller Health Study

The analysis, done in partnership with the University of Colorado School of Medicine and Children’s Hospital Colorado and published in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice, shows that both patients and providers gain a more accurate view of a patient’s medication use when digital sensors record the number of “puffs” of rescue medication that were used.

These findings demonstrate how objective digital data can be used to more accurately measure and assess asthma control, compared to patient-reported data that depends on patient recall and can be skewed by recall bias and healthcare provider interpretation of this data.
