The Pediatria asthma and Home Indoor VEntilation and air quality monitoring (PHIVE) study is funded by the Stanley Manne Children’s Research Institute, Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago and focuses on how in-home digital air quality sensors can help improve asthma care for children. 

The PHIVE study consists of concurrent mixed methods with quantitative data (i.e., 3 months of home air sensor data, patient assessments) and qualitative data (i.e., rapid interview wit families about acceptability) to evaluate the outcome of the study goals. 

The goal of this study is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of using digital in-home air quality sensors for continuous data monitoring of indoor air in the homes of children with asthma.

Technology-Enhanced Asthma Care in Children at Clinic and Home (TEACCCH)

The Technology-Enhanced Asthma Care in Children at Clinic and Home (TEACCCH) study is funded by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and focuses on the use of digital technology, such as a smartphone app and wireless inhaler sensor, to improve pediatric asthma management by making it easy to track and remember medication administration.

The TEACCCH study consists of user-centered design workshops where we will be working with parents and caregivers to design the health system supports that they would need from the healthcare system to easily incorporate this technology into their family’s daily routines or routine outpatient care.

The goal of the aims is to refine the design of an existing mHealth asthma intervention, identify health care services to integrate the intervention in health care delivery and conduct a feasibility trial with caregiver-child dyads.
