    Abstract Purpose of review: Telemedicine, defined as synchronous video visits between a provider and a child with asthma, often takes place in the school setting. This review examines the new electronic sensors for adherence monitoring and studies that used telemedicine in the school setting to improve asthma outcomes.
    Recent findings: School-based telemedicine provides an important service to families of school-aged children who have difficulty due to time and distance in planning and keeping in-person appointments with primary or specialty providers. Significant improvements in objective measures of asthma control are inconsistently observed although caregiver and parent quality of life and child self-management behaviors are improved and satisfaction is high. Assessment and outcomes related to adherence are mentioned in studies but results are not often reported. However, it appears that adherence interventions are beneficial while maintained but the effects are not sustained upon intervention discontinuation.
    Summary: The school setting provides a convenient and suitable environment to conduct telemedicine visits between school-aged children and their primary care or specialty provider. Electronic adherence sensors allow review of controller and rescue medication use through a cloud-based dashboard and provides an opportunity for real-time assessment and intervention by providers to improve asthma outcomes.

    Abstract Asthma guidelines provide clinicians with evidence-based management strategies for this chronic condition. The preferred therapy for patient with persistent asthma is inhaled corticosteroids. However, ∼40% of the patients with persistent asthma continue to present with symptoms while treated according to the guidelines. Multiple factors are being explored to explain the variability in response to inhaled corticosteroids including asthma phenotype and genetic predisposition among others. The nonatopic asthma phenotype has been described in the literature. These patients tend to have milder symptoms of asthma and typically outgrow their asthma by adolescence. They present with chronic asthma symptoms in the absence of a positive allergy test, either skin prick test or specific immunoglobulin E blood test. Although patients with nonatopic asthma share many characteristics with patients with atopic asthma, there are several studies that suggest a different inflammatory pathway may be involved in their pathophysiology. Therefore, it is possible that children with nonatopic asthma could respond differently to inhaled corticosteroids compared with those with atopic asthma. Currently there is a variable definition of this phenotype. Furthermore, there is a paucity of therapeutic trial directed toward the patients with nonatopic asthma specifically. Future research should be guided toward identifying the inflammatory pathways in nonatopic asthma and potential phenotype-guided therapies.

    Abstract Childhood asthma is a common and serious chronic lung disease. Mobile health (mHealth) technologies may assist clinical providers, caregivers, and children in managing pediatric asthma. This study evaluated the Nemours app, an mHealth application. We examined: a) frequency of data access by providers and feature use by caregivers (parents/legal guardians) of 5-11-year-old children diagnosed with asthma and b) whether utilization was related to benefits. Nine providers (allergists/pulmonologists) and 80 patient-families (caregiver/child dyads) participated. Two-years of retrospective data were obtained for asthma control, in-person urgent healthcare utilization, and app utilization. Six-months of prospective data included asthma control, in-person urgent healthcare utilization, app utilization, surveys, and health literacy screeners. Providers (56%) accessed app data and caregivers (61%) utilized the app. Caregiver use of messaging feature predicted gains in health literacy scores (

    Abstract Purpose of review: Poor adherence to asthma controller medications, particularly inhaled corticosteroids, has been well known for decades and is a major cause of uncontrolled asthma and increased healthcare utilization. This review presents recent evidence on factors leading to nonadherence in specific age groups, parents of young children, adolescents and young adults, adults, and the elderly. Novel management strategies including electronic sensors with associated smart phone applications for adherence improvement are discussed.
    Recent findings: Interventions to promote adherence must include a focus on issues important to the patient. Parents are concerned about adverse effects and the difficulty of medication administration in their child; adolescents and young adults need help with organizational skills and social barriers; adults may be more receptive to the need for daily medication after an acute exacerbation and acceptance of their disease; the elderly may have medication misuse issues associated with cognitive decline and other comorbidities related to aging. In all age groups, a trusting relationship with the provider is the key. New digital devices to track adherence may provide feedback to the patient and provider to evaluate and to promote adherence.
    Summary: Personalized approaches are required to address adherence barriers in target populations. Research on specific needs and barriers in target populations and development of appropriate strategies for use of new digital technology for adherence monitoring is needed.

    Abstract Background: Consistent findings on underlying brain features or specific structural atrophy patterns contributing to depression in multiple sclerosis (MS) are limited.
    Objective: To investigate how deep gray matter (DGM) features predict depressive symptom trajectories in MS patients.
    Methods: We used data from the MS Partners Advancing Technology and Health Solutions (MS PATHS) network in which standardized patient information and outcomes are collected. We performed whole-brain segmentation using SLANT-CRUISE. We assessed if DGM structures were associated with elevated depressive symptoms over follow-up and with depressive symptom phenotypes.
    Results: We included 3844 participants (average age: 46.05 ± 11.83 years; 72.7% female) of whom 1905 (49.5%) experienced ⩾1 periods of elevated depressive symptoms over 2.6 ± 0.9 years mean follow-up. Higher caudate, putamen, accumbens, ventral diencephalon, thalamus, and amygdala volumes were associated with lower odds of elevated depressive symptoms over follow-up (odds ratio (OR) range per 1
    Conclusion: Lower DGM volumes were associated with depressive symptom trajectories in MS.
