Q&A: Electronic inhaler system helps patients improve asthma control

Patients who used the Reliever Digihaler System had greater odds for better asthma control compared with patients who used standard inhalers, according to a study published in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice.
They also used short-acting beta agonists (SABA) less frequently and had more SABA-free days, the researchers found, as the system recorded and reported data on their inhaler usage and inhalation quality.
Healio spoke with Flavia Cecilia Lega Hoyte, MD, allergist and immunologist at National Jewish Health, to find out more about the study of the system.
