More recently, Creary et al. (2014) developed a novel mobile DOT approach utilising smartphone and computer devices that resulted in a median monthly observed adherence of 93.3% over the 6 month trial in children with sickle cell disease. Finally, specific to asthma patients, Vasbinder et al., (2013) has developed a study to access the effectiveness of using mobile phone text-messages to remind and encourage non-adherent patients to take their medication and thereby improve control of their disease; results of the study are not yet available. Limited available evidence, therefore, suggests that communication technology could be utilised to achieve therapeutic goals of correct administration technique and improved adherence to therapy in asthma patients while limiting resource utilisation.
