“…4,[22][23][24][25] Technology has also been used as a patient compliance feature through an electronic patient alert and dispensing log system utilizing an audio reminder alert. 26 However, at the heart of quality asthma care is the concept of shared decision making, and asthma guidelines strongly promote this concept. 27 If asthma care concordance between patient and provider is to be achieved, the question of whether technology impacts on this process is yet to be ascertained.…”

Introduction: Telemonitoring, telemedicine, clinical and medical informatics or telecare, are terms used to describe the use of technology along with local clinical protocols to monitor remotely a patient's medical condition in their own home. In respiratory medicine, where large numbers of people have long term conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the role of such monitoring technology in the management of patients is of great interest.

“…Although this may simplify the regimen, the effect is far from universal. While education per se probably does not have a significant impact on regimen adherence, patient feedback in terms of regimen adherence and automated reminders appear to influence this aspect of behaviour and are likely to become more frequently employed in clinical practice in the future [33].…”

What the pulmonary specialist should know about the new inhalation therapies

et al. 2011

A collaboration of multidisciplinary experts on the delivery of pharmaceutical aerosols was facilitated by the European Respiratory Society (ERS) and the International Society for Aerosols in Medicine (ISAM), in order to draw up a consensus statement with clear, up-to-date recommendations that enable the pulmonary physician to choose the type of aerosol delivery device that is most suitable for their patient. The focus of the consensus statement is the patientuse aspect of the aerosol delivery devices that are currently available.The subject was divided into different topics, which were in turn assigned to at least two experts. The authors searched the literature according to their own strategies, with no central literature review being performed. To achieve consensus, draft reports and recommendations were reviewed and voted on by the entire panel.Specific recommendations for use of the devices can be found throughout the statement. Healthcare providers should ensure that their patients can and will use these devices correctly. This requires that the clinician: is aware of the devices that are currently available to deliver the prescribed drugs; knows the various techniques that are appropriate for each device; is able to evaluate the patient's inhalation technique to be sure they are using the devices properly; and ensures that the inhalation method is appropriate for each patient.

“…Another problem limiting the comparison of interventions targeted even for the same disease is the wide variety of outcome measures used. For instance, while studying the effectiveness of interventions to increase adherence to asthma medications, Otsuki et al [22] Charles T et al [23] Chan DS et al [24] and van der Meer V et al [25] used 6 different clinical outcomes (4 patient-reported measures and 2 biological measures).…”

Methods for trials of interventions to enhance patient adherence to medication prescriptions, based on a systematic review of recent randomized trials

Background: Low patient adherence to prescribed medications is very common and likely the most important barrier to the implementation of effective health care. Controlled trials of interventions to improve adherence have not found consistent success for any type of approach, but the research methods of these trials can lead to biased and imprecise testing, making it difficult to distinguish poor interventions from poor testing.
