Abstract

The article presents a study which examines the effectiveness of mobile phone based self-monitoring of patients from primary care with poorly controlled asthma in Great Britain. The study has conducted a parallel group randomised controlled trial and an analysis of costs. The results of the study have revealed that the paper based model of asthma care is less expensive than the mobile phone supported model.
