E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To investigate if the EXACT@home program reduces the number of patients treated by biologics by means of systematic identification and treatment of treatable traits using e.g. questionnaires, eHealth and multiple digital devices before considering biologics. |
Onderzoeken of het EXACT@home programma resulteert in een reductie in het aantal patienten behandeld met biologicals door middel van systematische identificatie van treatable traits met behulp van o.a. vragenlijsten, eHealth en meerdere digitale devices voordat biologicals overwogen worden. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To determine whether the use of EXACT@home results in a reduced percentage of patients treated with biologicals after 11-12 months. Next to this it will be investigated if EXACT@home has an influence on quality of life, asthma control, dyspnea perception, lung function, exacerbation frequency, prednisolone use, direct healthcare consumption, self-management skills, patient satisfaction, adherence to ICS/LABA therapy and inhaler technique, physical activity, sleep and vital parameters. Next to this, breath pattern analysis will be performed with the electronic nose (eNose). Moreover, the safety of the Digital inhaler (BF-Digihaler-DS from Teva) and eNose (Spironose from Breathomix) and the course of the treatment in each patient will also be investigated. |
Nagaan of het gebruik van EXACT@home resulteert in een reductie van het percentage patienten dat behandeld wordt met een biological na 11-12 maanden. Daarnaast wordt onderzocht of EXACT@home invloed heeft op de kwaliteit van leven, astma controle, dyspneu perceptie, long functie, exacerbatie frequentie, prednisolon gebruik, directe zorgconsumptie, zelfmanagment, patient tevredenheid, therapietrouw aan ICS/LABA therapie, inhalatietechniek, fysieke activiteit, slaap en vitale parameters. Daarnaast wordt er een analyse van deeltjes in de uitgeademde lucht met de eNose verricht. Verder wordt er gekeken naar de veiligheid van de BF-Digihaler-DS (digitale inhalator) en SpiroNose (eNose) en het beloop van de behandeling in elke individuele patiënt. |
