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.
Abstract Background C ontrol of A llergic R hinitis and sthma T est for hildren ( CARATK ids) is the first questionnaire that assesses simultaneously allergic rhinitis asthma control in children. It was recently developed, but redundancy questions its psychometric properties were not assessed. This study aimed to (i) establish final version ids (ii) evaluate reliability, responsiveness, cross‐sectional validity, longitudinal validity. Methods prospective observational conducted 11 Portuguese...
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....
A Modified Incremental Step Test (MIST) performed in the home may facilitate entirely home-based pulmonary rehabilitation programs. The aims of this study were to investigate reliability and responsiveness, utility MIST for exercise prescription people with stable chronic lung disease.The was undertaken at center random order, before after rehabilitation, 2 tests each time point. Reliability assessed using intraclass correlation coefficient. Responsiveness evaluated as effect size. minimal...
We aimed to identify persistent asthma phenotypes among adolescents and evaluate longitudinally asthma-related outcomes across phenotypes. Adolescents (13-17 years) from the prospective, observational, multicenter INSPIRERS studies, conducted in Portugal Spain, were included (n = 162). Latent class analysis was applied demographic, environmental, clinical variables, collected at a baseline medical visit. Longitudinal differences variables assessed 4-month follow-up telephone contact 128)....
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...
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)...
Feline asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the lower respiratory airways that has shown an increased incidence in past decades, aside with human asthma. It also important to acknowledge and feline are very similar their pathophysiology,being housing conditions (pollutants, stress obesity) major risk factors its development. The present study aimed investigate if these could be determining conditioning associated occurrence previously reported literature. A cross-sectional...
The CARAT is valid to assess asthma control using paper-based forms. For follow-up purposes, telephone interview may be useful, but equivalence between these modes of administration was not studied. This study compared scores when administered via forms and 1-week apart. Patients with asthma, recruited during scheduled medical visits in 4 secondary care centers, filled the CARAT. After 3-7 days (median-M 6), again collected by interview. (from 0-worst 30-best; >24 controlled) were...
The paper version of CARAT (pCARAT) is valid to assess asthma control over a 4-week period. For follow-up purposes, assessment through mobile apps (aCARAT) or telephone (tCARAT) may be useful alternatives. We explored the psychometric properties aCARAT and tCARAT. Patients with were recruited at secondary care outpatient clinics. During medical visits, patients filled in pCARAT invited complete following days using app project Inspirers (InspirerMundi). After 1 week, tCARAT was collected....
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...
