Asthma in the digital world

[en] Digital health includes eHealth and areas such as the use of advanced computer sciences. eHealth comprises several components, including electronic health records, telehealth, and mHealth. mHealth is segmented into mHealth apps, mHealth services, and medical devices. The present paper is not intended to provide a systematic review of the current digital tools used in asthma but to provide a framework to better understand the potentials and drawbacks of some of these tools using, when available, systematic reviews.
