Concepts for the development of person-centred, digitally-enabled, Artificial I...
Bousquet, J; Schünemann, HJ; Sousa-Pinto, B; Zuberbier, T; Togias, A; Samolinski, B; Bedbrook, A; Czarlewski, W; Hofmann-Apitius, M; Litynska, JThe traditional healthcare model is focused on diseases (medicine and natural science) and does not acknowledge patients' resources and abilities to be experts in their own life based on their lived experiences. Improving healthcare safety, quality and coordination, as well as quality of life, are important aims in the care of patients with chronic conditions. Person-centred care needs to ensure that people's v...
Consistent Trajectories of Rhinitis Control and Treatment in 16,177 Weeks: The ...
Sousa‐Pinto, B; Schünemann, HJ; Sá‐Sousa, A; Vieira, RJ; Amaral, R; Anto, JM; Klimek, L; Czarlewski, W; Mullol, J; Pfaar, O; Bedbrook, A; Brussino, LIntroduction: Data from mHealth apps can provide valuable information on rhinitis control and treatment patterns. However, in MASK-air®, these data have only been analyzed cross-sectionally, without considering the changes of symptoms over time. We analyzed data from MASK-air® longitudinally, clustering weeks according to reported rhinitis symptoms. Methods: We analyzed MASK-air® data, assessing the weeks for w...
Adherence to inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting β2-agonists in asthma: A M...
Sousa-Pinto, B; Louis, R; Anto, J M; Amaral, R; Sá-Sousa, A; Czarlewski, W; Brussino, L; Canonica, G W; Chaves Loureiro, C; Cruz, A A; Gemicioglu, BIntroduction: Adherence to controller medication is a major problem in asthma management, being difficult to assess and tackle. mHealth apps can be used to assess adherence. We aimed to assess the adherence to inhaled corticosteroids+long-acting β2-agonists (ICS+LABA) in users of the MASK-air® app, comparing the adherence to ICS+formoterol (ICS+F) with that to ICS+other LABA. Materials and methods: We analysed ...
Multidisciplinary Development and Initial Validation of a Clinical Knowledge Ba...
Pereira, AM; Jácome, C; Jacinto, T; Amaral, R; Pereira, M; Sá-Sousa, A; Couto, M; Vieira-Marques, P; Martinho, D; Vieira, A; Almeida, A; Martins, CMost mobile health (mHealth) decision support systems currently available for chronic obstructive respiratory diseases (CORDs) are not supported by clinical evidence or lack clinical validation. The development of the knowledge base that will feed the clinical decision support system is a crucial step that involves the collection and systematization of clinical knowledge from relevant scientific sources and its...
Digitally‐Enabled, Patient‐Centred Care in Rhinitis and Asthma Multimorbidity: ...
Bousquet, J; Anto, JM; Sousa‐Pinto, B; Czarlewski, W; Bedbrook, A; Haahtela, T; Klimek, L; Pfaar, O; Kuna, P; Kupczyk, M; Regateiro, FS; Samolinski, BMASK-air® , a validated mHealth app (Medical Device regulation Class IIa) has enabled large observational implementation studies in over 58,000 people with allergic rhinitis and/or asthma. It can help to address unmet patient needs in rhinitis and asthma care. MASK-air® is a Good Practice of DG Santé on digitally-enabled, patient-centred care. It is also a candidate Good Practice of OECD (Organisation for Econo...
Measuring Adherence to Inhaled Control Medication in Patients with Asthma: Comp...
Cachim, A; Pereira, AM; Almeida, R; Amaral, R; Alves‐Correia, M; Vieira‐Marques, P; Chaves‐Loureiro, C; Ribeiro, C; Cardia, F; Gomes, J; Vidal, CBackground: Previous studies have demonstrated the feasibility of using an asthma app to support medication management and adherence but failed to compare with other measures currently used in clinical practice. However, in a clinical setting, any additional adherence measurement must be evaluated in the context of both the patient and physician perspectives so that it can also help improve the process of share...
Comparison of Rhinitis Treatments Using MASK-air ® Data and Considering the Min...
Sousa‐Pinto, B; Schünemann, HJ; Sá‐Sousa, A; Vieira, RJ; Amaral, R; Anto, JM; Klimek, L; Czarlewski, W; Mullol, J; Pfaar, O; Bedbrook, A; Brussino, LBackground: Different treatments exist for allergic rhinitis (AR), including pharmacotherapy and allergen immunotherapy (AIT), but they have not been compared using direct patient data (i.e., "real-world data"). We aimed to compare AR pharmacological treatments on (i) daily symptoms, (ii) frequency of use in co-medication, (iii) visual analogue scales (VASs) on allergy symptom control considering the minimal im...
Allergen Immunotherapy in MASK‐Air Users in Real‐Life: Results of a Bayesian Mi...
Sousa‐Pinto, B; Azevedo, LF; Sá‐Sousa, A; Vieira, RJ; Amaral, R; Klimek, L; Czarlewski, W; Anto, JM; Bedbrook, A; Kvedariene, V; Ventura, MTBackground: Evidence regarding the effectiveness of allergen immunotherapy (AIT) on allergic rhinitis has been provided mostly by randomised controlled trials, with little data from real-life studies. Objective: To compare the reported control of allergic rhinitis symptoms in three groups of users of the MASK-air® app: those receiving sublingual AIT (SLIT), those receiving subcutaneous AIT (SCIT), and those rec...
Behavioural Patterns in Allergic Rhinitis Medication in Europe: A Study Using M...
Sousa‐Pinto, B; Sá‐Sousa, A; Vieira, RJ; Amaral, R; Klimek, L; Czarlewski, W; Antó, JM; Pfaar, O; Bedbrook, A; Kvedariene, V; Ventura, MT; Ansotegui, IJBackground: Co-medication is common among patients with allergic rhinitis (AR), but its dimension and patterns are unknown. This is particularly relevant since AR is understood differently across European countries, as reflected by rhinitis-related search patterns in Google Trends. This study aims to assess AR co-medication and its regional patterns in Europe, using real-world data. Methods: We analysed 2015-20...
