Asthma Childhood clinical trials

Tele-Assessment Methods in Children With Asthma

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways. Childhood asthma is quite common. The airway responds unusually to triggers. There are episodes of recurrent wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and/or coughing that may change in intensity over time. Sudden contraction of airway smooth muscle may be reversible. It is characterized by common but also variable airflow obstruction. With the development of today's technology age, tele-assessment techniques allow professionals to remotely collect real-time data about the development of patients. It has been shown that video conferencing is a feasible and reliable method for evaluating patients with neurological symptoms. In a systematic study examining 41 articles investigating telehealth services and satisfaction; The findings show that patients are generally satisfied with the use of telemedicine. He argues that telemedicine is a low-cost model, increases access to health services, saves time, eliminates the need for travel, facilitates remote patient care and follow-up, and also improves health outcomes and/or quality. Therefore, the aim of our study; To compare the findings obtained with tele-assessment and clinical face-to-face evaluations on a scientific basis, where tele-applications are developing rapidly and their effectiveness has been proven by research, and according to the data to be obtained, an idea about the compatibility between remote evaluation of some parameters of asthmatic children such as physical fitness and flexibility, balance and face-to-face evaluations. is to own. In different situations where patients cannot reach the clinic (remote distance, pandemic, etc.), the evaluations to be made using the remote tele-assessment method can reflect the objective data and the continuity of the patient-health professional relationship can be maintained.
