BackgroundReal-world evidence for digitally-supported asthma programs among Medicaid-enrolled children remains limited. Using data from a collaborative quality improvement program, we evaluated the impact of a digital intervention on asthma inhaler use among children in southwest Detroit.MethodsChildren (6–13 years) enrolled with Kids Health Connection (KHC), a program involving home visits with an asthma educator, were invited to participate in a digital self-management asthma program (Propeller Health). Patients were provided with a sensor to capture short-acting beta-agonist (SABA) medication use, and given access to a paired mobile app to track usage. Patients’ healthcare providers and caregivers (“followers”) were invited to view data as well. Retrospective paired t-tests assessed change in mean SABA use and SABA-free days (SFD) over time, and regressions explored the relationship between followers and medication use.ResultsFifty-one patients were assessed. Mean program participation was nine months, and patients had on average 3 followers. From the first to last participation month, mean SABA use decreased from 0.68 to 0.25 puffs/day (p< 0.001), and mean SFD increased from 25.2 to 28.1 days/month (p< 0.001). 76% of patients had an increase in the number of SFD. There was a positive, but non-significant, relationship between the number of followers and reductions in SABA inhaler use.ConclusionsWe observed a significant reduction in SABA inhaler use and an increase in the number of SABA-free days among Medicaid-enrolled children enrolled in a multi-modal digital asthma program.
