Summary
We describe the development of a mobile health (mhealth) application specifically for respiratory disease that would offer a unique opportunity to support individuals with asthma/COPD by providing real-time monitoring, education, and personalized interventions. The use of the Node.Health and MAUQ validated questionnaires around the areas of usability and ease-of-use provides a systematic approach to the iterative development for future versions of the application which will be ultimately become a foundation to which therapeutic devices can be linked to.
