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...
Issue 2 - "Update on adverse respiratory effects of indoor air pollution" Part ...
Cavaleiro Rufo, J; Annesi-Maesano, I; Carreiro-Martins, P; Moreira, A; Sousa, AC; Pastorinho, MR; Neuparth, N; Taborda-Barata, LObjective To quantify the impact of different air pollutants on respiratory health based on robust estimates based on international data and to summarise the evidence of associations between indoor exposure to those pollutants and respiratory morbidity in the Portuguese population. Results Several systematic reviews and meta-analyses (MA) at the world level demonstrate the impact of indoor air quality on respir...
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 ...

Molecular Profile of Sensitization to Dermatophagoides Pteronyssinus Dust Mite ...
Limão, R; Spínola Santos, A; Araújo, L; Cosme, J; Inácio, F; Tomaz, E; Ferrão, A; Santos, N; Sokolova, A; Môrete, A; Falcão, H; Cunha, LBackground and objectives: To analyze component-resolved diagnosis of sensitization to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Der p) in patients with respiratory allergy and the association between diagnostic findings and clinical severity in different geographical areas. Methods: The study population comprised 217 patients (mean age, 25.85 [12.7] years; 51.16% female) selected from 13 centers in Portugal (5 from the ...
Issue 1 - “Update on adverse respiratory effects of outdoor air pollution” Part...
Sousa, AC; Pastorinho, MR; Masjedi, MR; Urrutia-Pereira, M; Arrais, M; Nunes, E; To, T; Ferreira, AJ; Robalo-Cordeiro, C; Borrego, C; Teixeira, JPObjective: To analyse the GARD perspective on the health effects of outdoor air pollution, and to synthesise the Portuguese epidemiological contribution to knowledge on its respiratory impact. Results: Ambient air pollution has deleterious respiratory effects which are more apparent in larger, densely populated and industrialised countries, such as Canada, Iran, Brazil and Portugal, but it also affects people l...
Metabolic Phenotypes in Asthmatic Adults: Relationship with Inflammatory and Cl...
Santos, A; Pité, H; Chaves-Loureiro, C; Rocha, SM; Taborda-Barata, LBronchial asthma is a chronic disease that affects individuals of all ages. It has a high prevalence and is associated with high morbidity and considerable levels of mortality. However, asthma is not a single disease, and multiple subtypes or phenotypes (clinical, inflammatory or combinations thereof) can be detected, namely in aggregated clusters. Most studies have characterised asthma phenotypes and clusters ...
Feasibility and Acceptability of an Asthma App to Monitor Medication Adherence:...
Jácome, C; Almeida, R; Pereira, AM; Amaral, R; Mendes, S; Alves-Correia, M; Vidal, C; López Freire, S; Méndez Brea, P; Araújo, L; Couto, MBackground: Poor medication adherence is a major challenge in asthma, and objective assessment of inhaler adherence is needed. The InspirerMundi app aims to monitor adherence while providing a positive experience through gamification and social support. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the InspirerMundi app to monitor medication adherence in adolescents and adults wit...
Monitoring Adherence to Asthma Inhalers Using the InspirerMundi App: Analysis o...
Jácome, C; Almeida, R; Pereira, AM; Amaral, R; Vieira-Marques, P; Mendes, S; Alves-Correia, M; Ferreira, JA; Lopes, I; Gomes, J; Araújo, L; Couto, MBackground: Poor medication adherence is a major challenge in asthma and objective assessment of inhaler adherence is needed. InspirerMundi app aims to monitor inhaler adherence while turning it into a positive experience through gamification and social support. Objective: We assessed the medium-term feasibility of the InspirerMundi app to monitor inhaler adherence in real-world patients with persistent asthma ...
