Digital tools to support asthma self management
People with asthma could benefit from digital tools to help them manage their condition more confidently. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence draft guidance provisionally recommends eight digital technologies for early NHS use while further evidence is gathered. Some platforms can share information with GPs or nurses to make appointments more efficient. Asthma affects around 5.4 million people in the UK. These digital tools have the potential to empower patients to take a more active role in managing their condition, improving their quality of life.
