“…28,29 The meta-analyses included very few studies that utilized the integrated approach demonstrated in this study with VBT medical and self-management visits and electronic inhaler monitoring in adolescents living in economically disadvantaged neighborhoods and the majority of studies were conducted in rural or remote settings or enrolled young children.

Healthcare disparities exist in pediatric asthma in the United States. Children from minority, low‐income families in inner‐city areas encounter barriers to healthcare, leading to greater rates of poorly controlled asthma and healthcare utilization. Finding an effective way to deliver high‐quality healthcare to this underserved population to improve outcomes, reduce morbidity and mortality, and reduce healthcare utilization is of the utmost importance. The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility and efficacy of a novel school‐based care delivery model that incorporates video‐based telehealth (VBT) medical and self‐management visits with electronic inhaler monitoring to improve asthma outcomes. Over a 6‐month period, children from inner‐city, low‐income schools with uncontrolled asthma completed seven scheduled medical visits with an asthma specialist and five self‐management visits with an adherence psychologist at school using VBT. Composite Asthma Severity Index (CASI) scores and electronic inhaler monitor data were recorded and analyzed. A total of 21 patients were enrolled in the study. Study subjects with higher baseline severity (CASI ≥ 4 at visit 1) demonstrated a greater reduction in their score than those with lower baseline severity (CASI < 4 at visit 1). The CASI domains showed improvement in daytime symptoms, nighttime symptoms, and exacerbations. Adherence results demonstrated a significant improvement in adherence from baseline to postintervention. Study retention was 100%. This study demonstrates that a multicomponent medical and behavioral interventional program delivered by VBT to a school‐based setting is feasible and can significantly improve asthma outcomes and care in a challenging population.

“…As seen with TeleAllergy for asthma, dedicated telehealth presenters can streamline processes while providing specialty-specific education. 3,4 These dedicated presenters also handled all aspects of the physical examination, patient education, handouts, and specific consent forms (eg, omalizumab, allergen immunotherapy), whereas clinics without a dedicated presenter could only support the initial intake with a limited presentation and physical examination.…”

“…The first report was published by Romano et al [39], who found relief from symptoms and improved quality of life in 17 pediatric patients with asthma. Several studies subsequently demonstrated how monitoring peak flow using short message service (SMS) [40] or internetbased systems [41] and providing education to patients using face-to-face real-time telemedicine [42] improves asthma outcomes, proving to be comparable to in-person visits [43].…”

The emergence of new technology enables allergists and patients to compile data and receive feedback regarding key symptoms, risk behavior, and/or management. The term "eHealth" refers to a diverse group of tools that use computerized technologies to improve both the efficacy and the efficiency of the health care industry. eHealth comprises a variety of technologies, as follows: mobile devices (mHealth) in medical care, including electronic diaries, wearable sensors, and adherence monitoring; health informatics (eg, electronic health records, computerized physician order entry, clinical decision support); telemedicine, which is the use of information and communication technologies for the management of diseases and medical education; social media platforms, and the analysis of information acquired through these platforms using "big data" technologies. In this review, we summarize the latest findings on the use of eHealth technology and the relevance of eHealth to allergic conditions. ResumenLa aparición de nuevas tecnologías conlleva para los alergólogos y los pacientes la posibilidad de recopilar datos y recibir información directa sobre los síntomas clave de las enfermedades, los comportamientos de riesgo y/o su manejo. El término "eHealth", o salud electrónica, se refiere a un grupo diverso de herramientas que utilizan tecnologías informáticas para mejorar la eficacia y la eficiencia de la industria de la salud. La "eHealth" comprende varias tecnologías, como el uso de dispositivos móviles aplicados a la salud ("mHealth"), incluyendo diarios electrónicos, sensores ponibles o monitorización de la adherencia terapéutica; la informática biomédica (por ejemplo, la historia clínica electrónica, la prescripción electrónica o los sistemas de ayuda a las decisiones clínicas); la telemedicina, que es el uso de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación para el manejo de enfermedades y de educación sanitaria; las plataformas de redes sociales, y el análisis de la información adquirida a través de estas plataformas, usando técnicas de "big data" o inteligencia de datos. En esta revisión, resumimos la evidencia que rodea al uso de tecnologías "eHealth" y su relevancia para las enfermedades alérgicas.
