Personalized asthma guidance for patients and healthcare providers, instantly and at the point of care
The eAMS was developed by a group of researchers at the University of Toronto in collaboration with patients, family doctors, asthma educators, respiratory specialists, and pharmacists. In over a decade of work, each part of the system was carefully and systematically designed, built, and tested. Over 20 scientific articles related to the eAMS have been published along the way. Finally, in a clinical study, the eAMS was proven to significantly improve patient care in real-world healthcare settings.
The patient with asthma or a care team member completes a quick online asthma questionnaire. Our system then uses this information to determine the patient’s asthma control level and any required guideline-based medication adjustments, and presents these to the provider in real-time. The eAMS also creates a self-management solution called an asthma action plan, which patients can access through a web portal anytime, anywhere. This empowers patients to self-manage their asthma, improving their symptoms and helping them to avoid asthma flare-ups and urgent healthcare visits. Finally, it identifies patients who have severe asthma and require specialist care for therapies such as biologics.
The eAMS was developed and tested without any private industry funding.
