Montefiore allergy and immunology specialist Sunit Jariwala, MD, is betting on technology to help patients manage their asthma in between doctor’s visits.
In an effort to convince patients to stick with guideline-based recommendations, Dr. Jariwala and his colleagues have devised ASTHMAXcel, an interactive and personalized smartphone app that combines asthma education with games that challenge the user’s asthma knowledge and encourage healthier behaviors.
