Poor medication adherence is a major challenge in asthma, and objective assessment of inhaler needed. The InspirerMundi app aims to monitor while providing positive experience through gamification social support.
We aimed to compare patient's and physician's ratings of inhaled medication adherence identify predictors patient-physician discordance. Baseline data from two prospective multicentre observational studies. 29 allergy, pulmonology paediatric secondary care outpatient clinics in Portugal. 395 patients (≥13 years old) with persistent asthma. Data on demographics, relationship, upper airway control, asthma treatment, forced expiratory volume one second (FEV1) healthcare use were collected....

Background: Poor medication adherence is a major challenge in asthma and objective assessment of inhaler needed. InspirerMundi app aims to monitor while turning it into positive experience through gamification social support. Objective: We assessed the medium-term feasibility real-world patients with persistent (treated daily inhaled medication). In addition, we attempted identify characteristics related higher use. Methods: Two multicenter observational studies, one initial face-to-face...
We present LazyFS, a new fault injection tool that simplifies the debugging and reproduction of complex data durability bugs experienced by databases, key-value stores, other data-centric systems in crashes. Our simulates persistence properties POSIX file (e.g., operations ordering atomicity) enables users to inject lost torn write faults with precise controlled approach. Further, it provides profiling information about system's flow persisted data, enabling better understand root cause...
InspirerMundi app aims to transform adherence into a positive experience through gamification and social support, while allowing objective monitoring of inhaler adherence. We explored patients' engagement with this app. Adolescents adults persistent asthma, followed in 24 Portuguese hospital outpatient clinics, were invited by their physicians use the daily for 4 months register medication symptoms. To stimulate engagement, includes component (point badge system storyline warrior evolving an...
Aims: To identify distinct asthma control clusters based on Control of Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma Test (CARAT) to compare patients’ characteristics among these clusters. Methods: Adults adolescents (≥13 years) with persistent were recruited at 29 Portuguese hospital outpatient clinics, in the context two observational studies INSPIRERS project. Demographic clinical characteristics, adherence inhaled medication, beliefs about anxiety depression, quality life, (CARAT, >24 good control)...
Unsupervised methods may unveil the potential of INSPIRERS studies to comprehend heterogeneous characteristics asthma. Therefore, we aimed identify distinct classes asthma among participants, using latent class analysis (LCA), and compare their across classes. We applied LCA 308 adults (≥18 years) with persistent (treated daily inhaled medication) participants in observational prospective studies, conducted 26 secondary care outpatient clinics from Portugal Spain. The classifying variables...
We assessed the feasibility of InspirerMundi app to monitor medication adherence in adolescents and adults with persistent asthma (treated daily inhaled medication). A 1-month multicentre observational study was conducted 26 hospital outpatient clinics from Portugal Spain. During medical visits (T0), 107 patients were invited use register their intakes. scheduled intake considered taken when presented (inhaler, blister or other recipients) an image detection tool. Physicians reported...

We aimed to explore which patients' characteristics were associated with a low engagement the InspirerMundi app. A 1-month multicenter observational study was conducted patients persistent asthma from 26 secondary care centers Portugal and Spain. During an initial in person visit, invited by their physician use app daily register medication intakes. Physicians reported whether it 1st or follow-up current treatment, number of exacerbations healthcare past year. Patients asked about...
