See I told you I was taking it! - attitudes of adolescents with asthma towards a device monitoring their inhaler use: Implications for future design (2016)
Journal Article
Howard, S., Lang, A. R., Sharples, S., & Shaw, D. E. (2017). See I told you I was taking it! - attitudes of adolescents with asthma towards a device monitoring their inhaler use: Implications for future design. Applied Ergonomics, 58, 224-237. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apergo.2016.06.018

Adherence to treatment in asthma is often poor, particularly in adolescents and children where the condition is most prevalent. Electronic monitoring devices have shown potential for improving inhaler use, yet little research has considered the attit...

Electronic monitoring of adherence to inhaled medication in asthma (2014)
Journal Article
Howard, S., Lang, A., Patel, M. D. K., Sharples, S., & Shaw, D. E. (2014). Electronic monitoring of adherence to inhaled medication in asthma. Current Respiratory Medicine Reviews, 10(1), https://doi.org/10.2174/1573398X10666140429005007

The main treatment of asthma is inhaled corticosteroids. However adherence to these medications in asthma is often poor, with low adherence associated with excessive health care costs and an increased risk of emergency room visits and mortality. Alth...
