Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To clarify the impact of monitoring app input frequency and medication adherence on the rate of intermittent oral steroid use.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Clarify the impact of app input frequency and medication adherence monitoring on disease exacerbation. Clarify the impact of app input frequency and medication adherence monitoring on ACT scores. Clarify the impact of app input frequency and medication adherence monitoring on AHQ-33 JAPAN scores. Determine the impact of app input frequency and medication adherence monitoring on emergency/out-of-hours visits. Determine the relationship between app input frequency and medication adherence monitoring and free comments. Determine the impact of the app and each medication type (biological agents, inhaled medications).	—
