In a study by Propeller Health and NorthShore University HealthSystem, patients using Propeller Health to manage their asthma experienced a significant decline in rescue inhaler use and higher medication adherence rates compared to patients not using the platform, the company announced today.

According to a release, the study involved 100 patients, 25-65 years old, who had uncontrolled asthma. After the study, the treatment group maintained their high medication adherence at 68% while the control group experienced a 17% decline in adherence.

“This study provides more evidence that clinician-led digital health programs can have a tremendous impact on outcomes, and that the clinician’s involvement helps to keep patients engaged, motivated and ultimately healthier,” Propeller Health CEO David Van Sickle said in a statement.

The study was published in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice.
