Smart inhalers were welcomed by families and clinicians, especially regarding adherence [For the algorithm, both staff and parents (and children) expressed confidence in the recommendations, but also maintained how having clinical oversight was important. This is in line with discussions in other areas of healthcare about the role of algorithms and the development of artificial intelligence to guide decision making [Concerns around strictly following the algorithm’s treatment recommendations were raised due to contextual factors not being taken into consideration beyond the data considered by the algorithm. Some technical issues/downsides with both smart inhalers (e.g. missing data) and algorithm (e.g. not accounting for seasonal changes) were reported, but the benefits of using novel technology in managing and treating asthma were recognised, especially objective tests [As Lupton indicated [
