Modern telemonitoring options for patients with asthma

Achieving disease control is a priority in the management of patients with asthma. Recent large studies have demonstrated the positive impact of the use of mobile apps and portable spirometers on achieving asthma control. In addition, data from home spirometry are comparable to those from clinic-based testing with appropriate patient education. The question about the place of modern telemedicine in real clinical practice remains relevant. The aim of this work was to demonstrate the use of a portable peak flow meter with spirometry and symptom recording functions for remote monitoring of a 67-year-old female patient with newly diagnosed asthma. Conclusion. The presented clinical case showed that the use of modern telemedicine capabilities can not only help to control the disease, but also improve the patient’s adherence to treatment.
