Article Synopsis
- - The study compares three methods of measuring adherence to asthma inhalers: an asthma app, patient self-report, and physician assessment, focusing on the importance of understanding both patient and physician perspectives in clinical practice for better shared decision-making.
- - Conducted with 193 patients in Portugal, the results showed that app-based adherence (31% for 1 week, 18% for 1 month) was significantly lower than self-reported adherence (80%) and physician assessments (82%).
- - The findings indicate a weak correlation between app measurements and subjective assessments, while a moderate correlation exists between patient self-reports and physician evaluations, suggesting that the app may not fully capture adherence levels.
