    Background: eHealth monitoring technologies offer opportunities to more objectively assess symptoms when they appear in daily life. Asthma is the most common chronic disease in childhood with an episodic course, requiring close follow-up of pediatric asthma control to identify disease deterioration, prevent exacerbations, and enhance quality of life. eHealth technologies in pediatric asthma care show promising results regarding feasibility, acceptability, and asthma-related health outcomes. However, broad systematic evaluations of eHealth technologies in pediatric asthma are lacking.

    Objective: The objective of this scoping review was to identify the types and applications of eHealth technologies for monitoring and treatment in pediatric asthma and explore which monitoring domains show the most relevance or potential for future research.

    Methods: A scoping review was conducted using the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews) guidelines. A systematic and comprehensive search was performed on English papers that investigated the development, validation, or application of eHealth technologies for home monitoring or treatment of pediatric asthma in the following databases: PubMed, Cochrane Library, IEEE, Scopus, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and ACM Digital Library. Two authors independently assessed eligibility and extracted data. Data were presented by a descriptive analysis of characteristics and a narrative report for each eHealth domain.

    Results: The review included 370 manuscripts. The following 10 monitoring domains were identified: air quality, airway inflammation markers, lung function, physical activity, sleep, audiovisual, other physiological measurements, questionnaires, medication monitoring, and digital environment (ie, digital platforms, applications, websites, and software tools to monitor or support monitoring). Rising numbers of studies were seen, and the numbers accelerated in the last few years throughout most domains, especially medication monitoring and digital environment. Limited studies (35/370, 9.5%) of multiparameter monitoring strategies, using three or more domains, were found. The number of monitoring validation studies remained stable, while development and intervention studies increased. Intervention outcomes seemed to indicate the noninferiority and potential superiority of eHealth monitoring in pediatric asthma.

    Conclusions: This systematic scoping review provides a unique overview of eHealth pediatric asthma monitoring studies, and it revealed that eHealth research takes place throughout different monitoring domains using different approaches. The outcomes of the review showed the potency for efficacy of most monitoring domains (especially the domains of medication monitoring, lung function, and digital environment). Future studies could focus on modifying potentially relevant hospital-based diagnostics for the home setting to investigate potential beneficial effects and focus on combining home-monitoring domains to facilitate multiparameter decision-making and personalized clinical decision support.

    Asthma is the most common chronic childhood disease, affecting up to 10% of children worldwide [1]. Childhood asthma can lead to recurrent airflow limitation, which may hamper physical, psychological, and social development and well-being. The manifestation of asthma symptoms varies based on the asthma severity, the level of adequate disease management, and the influence of environmental triggers and the intrinsic waves of asthma, explaining its episodic fluctuating course. In clinical practice, assessment of asthma control is currently based on multiple diagnostic features (the combination of anamnesis, and physical examination and lung function measurements to assess airflow limitation). These scheduled elective outpatient clinic evaluations at infrequent intervals seem to conflict with the episodic nature of asthma, hampering timely and proper medical anticipation [2]. Closer follow-up of pediatric asthma control with a multifaceted assessment of disease parameters is thus needed to prevent disease deterioration, enhance self-management, and boost quality of life (QoL) [3,4].

    eHealth technologies like wearable home-monitoring tools can longitudinally measure symptoms, risk factors, and treatment factors in daily life, outside elective visits. In combination with communication technologies, this type of eHealth technology provides opportunities to closely monitor asthma control at home and allows timely treatment as recommended by the GINA (Global Initiative for Asthma) guidelines [5]. To date, eHealth technology studies have reported on physiology monitoring (eg, lung function, respiratory rate, and nocturnal coughing), behavioral monitoring (eg, activity, therapy adherence, and trigger exposure), and self-management interventions (by education, health care provider support, etc), but they are often not specifically tailored to the pediatric population [6].

    Studies applying eHealth technologies in pediatric asthma care have shown overall promising results regarding feasibility, acceptability, and asthma-related health outcomes [7-13]. For example, Ramsey et al [8] showed that digital interventions aimed at improving adherence resulted in improved adherence and asthma outcomes, and van den Wijngaart et al [14,15] showed that a digital asthma control test monitoring intervention reduced outpatient visits and was cost-effective. However, existing studies showed high heterogeneity in study endpoints, designs, and populations, which hampered systematic conclusions on the impact of eHealth in the management of pediatric asthma [11,12].

    Clearly, studies on eHealth pediatric asthma monitoring and treatment are available, but they are very widespread and heterogeneous in terms of monitoring domains, applied methods, and evaluations. In order to be able to further identify future research directions, a broad overview of this research area is initially needed. We therefore conducted a scoping review of the available evidence for monitoring and treatment in pediatric eHealth, without being directed toward a single discrete monitoring domain or study design. Scoping reviews, combining analytic and narrative synthetization of evidence, have become increasingly common in the field of eHealth reviewing [16,17]. This method suits the fast-paced broad field of digital health in pediatric asthma, as it allows for the synthesis of a wide range of available evidence in the literature, the clarification of the key concepts of eHealth technology domains, and the identification of current knowledge gaps [18,19]. The objective of this review was to identify the types and applications of eHealth technologies for monitoring and treatment in pediatric asthma and to explore which monitoring domains show the most relevance or potential for future research.


    Protocol and Registration

    Our protocol was drafted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines [20].

    Eligibility Criteria

    To be included in the review, papers needed to investigate the development, validation, or application of eHealth technologies for home monitoring and treatment in pediatric asthma. Peer-reviewed journal papers and conference papers were included if they were written in English. To avoid missing emerging technologies, quantitative, qualitative, and mixed method studies were included without restriction on study design, and study protocols were included as long as final study results had not been published. Papers were excluded if they did not fit into the conceptual framework of this scoping review as shown in Textbox 1.

    Information Sources and Search

    We searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, IEEE, Scopus, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and ACM Digital Library to identify potentially relevant documents until January 15, 2021. Since the primary aim of this scoping review was to provide an overview of developments within childhood asthma eHealth care, no lower limit for year of publication was set. The search strategies were drafted by the research team and refined by discussing them with an experienced librarian. The final search strategy for MEDLINE can be found in Multimedia Appendix 1. The final search results were exported to Rayyan, and duplicates were removed by 2 researchers.

    Selection of Sources of Evidence

    To increase consistency among reviewers, both reviewers (MK and VSH) screened a random sample of 100 titles and abstracts (in chronological order), discussed the results, and amended the screening and data extraction manual before beginning screening for this review. The manual was refined to ensure that eHealth was used for monitoring or treatment purposes in all included articles. Two reviewers (MK and VSH) evaluated the titles and abstracts of all publications identified by our searches for potentially relevant publications. Articles not fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria (Textbox 1) were excluded. Discrepancies were resolved by consensus and discussion between the 2 reviewers, and when disagreement persisted, the full-text article was analyzed to achieve consensus. eHealth domains were inductively constructed by 2 reviewers (MK and VSH) based on the title and abstract screening. The constructed eHealth domains were as follows: air quality, airway inflammation markers, lung function, activity, sleep, audiovisual, other physiological measurements, questionnaires, medication monitoring, and digital environment. Digital environment encompassed apps, websites, web portals, algorithms, and other digital tools that have the explicit goal to monitor asthma. This could be as a stand-alone tool (such as a digital diary and online communication to consult in times of symptoms) or could be supportive to monitoring tools from other eHealth domains (such as reminders and online asthma action plans). An overview of the constructed eHealth domains is provided in Table 1. One article could cover multiple eHealth domains. A second round of title and abstract screening was performed to label eligible articles with the applicable eHealth domains and classify them as “development/validation” or “intervention” studies. The full texts of eligible articles were then obtained and screened for eligibility based on the full texts by 1 reviewer (MK or VSH). Simultaneously, data extraction for eligible papers was performed, and the assigned eHealth domains and classification into “development/validation” or “intervention” were corrected when necessary. The full texts of 1 domain (airway inflammation markers) were assessed by both reviewers (MK and VSH) to ensure agreement on data extraction.

    Data Extraction

    A data extraction form was developed jointly by 2 reviewers (MK and VSH) in Google forms. We abstracted general data on article characteristics (eg, country of origin and year of publication), study design, and study population (eg, number of participants and age group), as well as the measurement methods used per domain and the main conclusions. For the domains of lung function and medication monitoring, we specifically extracted data on the evaluation of the spirometry technique and inhalation technique, respectively, at home. For papers describing or including an intervention, we additionally extracted who performed the intervention and the effects on (1) symptoms, (2) QoL, (3) lung function, (4) adherence, (5) self-management, (6) health care use and costs, and (7) school absence. Fitting the purpose of a scoping review, no critical appraisal of individual sources of evidence was performed.

    Synthesis of Results

    Visual representations of publications on different domains over the years were made. We performed a descriptive analysis of the characteristics of the included papers for the year of publication and country of origin of all eHealth domains. Moreover, we analyzed the interactions between the monitoring domains. Thereafter, data were presented in a narrative format per eHealth domain.


    Search Results

    The search resulted in 7961 records. The selection of sources of evidence is shown in the PRISMA-ScR flow diagram (Figure 1). All included studies with corresponding domain labels are shown in Multimedia Appendix 2 [3,7-15,21-378].

    Figure 1. Flowchart of the selection of evidence sources.

    Characteristics of the Sources of Evidence

    Increasing numbers of studies regarding eHealth technologies for monitoring and treatment in pediatric asthma were found over time (Figure 2). From 1990 to 2014, the largest proportion of studies were validation studies evaluating the correlation of home-measured signals with asthma features. From 2014, increasing proportions of intervention studies were seen, with a share of 63% (24/38) in 2020.

    With regard to the monitoring domains, an increasing variety of monitoring domains was seen over the years (Figure 2B). The first home studies in the 1980s focused on lung function monitoring. Moreover, several studies in the audiovisual domain followed in those years. From 1993, other domains started to sporadically appear in the pediatric asthma home-monitoring research field. For example, medication monitoring involved growing numbers of studies at every innovation step, with digital counters in 1990-2000, smart inhalers in 2000-2010, and the increased connectivity of smart inhalers with mobile devices in 2010-2020. Home monitoring of inflammation markers was an often researched topic from 2006, but this decreased after 2010. Air quality research showed a similar arrival period, but it remained quite stable after 2012 with regard to the absolute numbers of studies. Together with the rise of home computers, starting in 2008, a steady increase in studies in the digital questionnaire and digital environment domains was seen, and with the introduction of smartphones, the share of these domains grew enormously to over 40% of all home-monitoring studies. With the introduction of wearable technologies and smart watches, from 2015, an increase was seen in home-monitoring studies involving activity, sleep, and other physiological measurements.

    In 30.8% (114/370) of the included studies, two or more monitoring domains were combined, of which the largest part (80/114, 70.2%) combined a digital environment with one or more other monitoring domains. Overall, 8.6% (32/370) and 3.5% (13/370) of studies used a multiparameter monitoring strategy combining three or more domains and four or more monitoring domains, respectively. Detailed domain interactions are visualized in Figure 3. These data show that the domains of activity and sleep were most frequently combined with another domain (average 37% and 28%, respectively), whereas the domain of audiovisual was least combined. Many domains were combined with the domain of lung function (average 32%) or digital environment (average 35%). However, within the domain of digital environment, there were relatively few interactions (average 9%), indicating many stand-alone digital environments as well (n=75).

    eHealth pediatric asthma research is performed throughout the world (Figure 4); however, the share of research from South America and Africa is limited (5/370, 1.4%) compared with the other continents. The 5 countries with the most studies were the United States (n=202), the Netherlands (n=41), Great Britain (n=31), Australia (n=13), and Taiwan (n=9). eHealth pediatric asthma research in North America mainly focused on the monitoring domains of digital environment (105/211, 49.8%) and medication monitoring (70/211, 33.2%), while lung function monitoring was the main monitoring domain in Europe (41/101, 40.6%). Moreover, Europe had a relatively large share of research focusing on questionnaire monitoring (16/101, 15.8%). Although the proportional share of sleep monitoring was the highest in Asia (2/35, 5.7%), the absolute count of activity and sleep monitoring studies in North America was overwhelmingly the largest (n=19) compared with the other continents (n=4). Home-based air quality research has a lower relative share in Europe (4/101, 4.0%) compared with Asia, North America, and Australia (>10%).

    eHealth Domains

    The development, validation, and intervention results are reported below for each eHealth domain. No intervention studies were found for the domains of air quality, activity, sleep, and audiovisual.

    Air Quality Domain

    Forty-two studies were found, in which monitoring for air quality could roughly be divided into air pollution (PM2.5, O3, and NO2), weather-related factors (temperature and humidity), and allergy-triggering factors (pollen and dust), using a NO2 sensor, air pollution sensor, pollen tracker, or GPS tracker. Monitoring of air quality was based on (1) measurements in the bedroom [21,22], (2) measurements using data from weather stations adjusted to GPS tracking or mathematical models [23], or (3) measurements using a wearable monitor [24]. Wearable devices to monitor air quality were developed from 2017 onwards [21,23,25-29]. An example is the PIPER robot, which can move like a child and measures air quality in the home at a child’s height [30]. Some air quality devices were integrated in eHealth asthma tools to alert for bad air quality and provide feedback to the child [21,24,31-35].

    Observational studies mostly focused on air pollution (29/32, 91%), with occasional combination with weather-related (8/32, 25%) or allergy-triggering (7/32, 22%) factors. There were significant negative effects of air pollution on children’s pulmonary health, especially for those with asthma [36]. Several studies found an association between increased air pollution and increased asthma symptoms [37-40] or lung function deficit [41,42]. There often was a delay between exposure and asthma symptoms (lag of 1-2 days) and a cumulative effect of exposure [43,44]. Studies on allergy-triggering and weather-related factors were limited [40,45]. Lawson et al [40] suggested that exposure to endotoxins may influence asthma symptoms or result in exacerbations. Li et al [45] showed an association between increased diurnal temperature range and reduced peak expiratory flow (PEF) and increased respiratory symptoms [45]. No intervention studies on air quality were found.

    Airway Inflammation Markers Domain

    Ten development/validation studies used fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) to measure airway inflammation. The oldest study addressed the potential of FeNO measurements for use as a home-monitoring tool [46]. Subsequently, Paredi et al [47] described a device that used a reservoir to allow delayed assessment of FeNO values and enabled home measurements. Thereafter, a hand-held electrochemical device, the NIOX-MINO, was developed and validated against standard FeNO measurements, with good between-method agreement within a clinically acceptable range [48,49]. Good feasibility and repeatability of FeNO home monitoring were reported [50-52].

    In a proof-of-concept study, van der Valk et al [53] used the NIOX-MINO device for daily observation of FeNO in relation to asthma symptoms. They concluded that single FeNO values were not predictive to detect upcoming exacerbations, but that multiple data points were required.

    Intervention Studies

    One randomized controlled trial intervention study showed no added benefits of daily FeNO monitoring on symptoms, lung function, and airway inflammation in a telemonitoring program; however, the authors reported a tendency toward fewer exacerbations [52].

    Lung Function Domain

    Seventy-four development/validation articles were found that monitored lung function at home, and all used spirometric measurements, such as PEF and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1). Older articles mainly used hand-held peak flow devices, whereas more recent articles more often used hand-held spirometers. Sixteen studies combined spirometry with other home-monitoring devices, such as cough, sleep, and air quality sensors [21,22,31,34,36,40-45,51,54-58].

    A good correlation of portable devices with hospital-based measurements was reported for both the PEF and FEV1 measurements [52,59-61], where home measurements tended to be lower (mean difference PEF: 22-55 L/min; FEV1: 0.02-0.15 L) [52,60,62]. The frequently incorrect, invented, or missing data in written diaries, with discrepancy between measured and self-reported values up to 35-50% [63-68], emphasize the need for electronic monitoring to prevent reporting bias [63,67,69,70].

    There was little evidence evaluating the quality of execution of home-measured lung function. The quality of spirometry at home seemed acceptable and reproducible [71-74], even when compared with in-office spirometry [73,74]. Gamification methods were developed, aiming to enhance the quality and adherence of lung function measurements [75-77].

    From the 1990s onwards, multiple studies reported on the limited value of PEF monitoring [78-80], as it was not a sensitive or specific objective index of lung function [81,82] and it poorly reflected changes in asthma activity [64,66,83-85]. When comparing PEF monitoring and spirometry, Sly et al [86] showed a moderate correlation between these. Two other validation studies using FEV1 for home-monitoring purposes showed a poor concordance of FEV1 with disease activity [84] and only small differences in FEV1 between symptom days and symptom-free days [85]. On the contrary, van der Kamp et al [3] described that variation in FEV1 distinguished between controlled and uncontrolled asthma.

    Intervention Studies

    Thirty-eight intervention studies on lung function monitoring were found. Within these intervention studies, lung function was commonly measured on standard intervals, with few studies reporting reversibility at home [87-90] or additional measurement of lung function when experiencing an increase in asthma symptoms [89-91]. Lung function monitoring was combined with symptom monitoring with a diary, questionnaire, or online contact in several studies [92-98]. Eleven studies took the quality of execution of spirometric maneuvers into account by providing feedback on the technique at more than one moment during clinical visits or by video assessment [88-90,92,95,99-103].

    Patients and parents reported high rates of satisfaction with PEF monitoring [87,92,93,102], for example, to detect poor symptom perception, to assess bronchodilator response, or for reassurance in case of normal PEF values [87]. Despite known technical and logistical errors with PEF monitoring, acceptable compliance and feasibility were shown when introduced in a motivated group [90,104]. Multiple studies used a decision-support tool to adjust treatment based on home-monitored PEF values [97,100,105-107]. For example, Savva et al [105] showed a decrease in short-acting beta-agonist (SABA) use when SABA use was based on personal PEF values.

    Myers et al [108] described the use of PEF monitoring in their review and concluded that the debate on the added value of PEF monitoring for asthma outcomes remains inconclusive. The reported advantages of PEF monitoring are increased self-management [98,109,110], increased trigger identification [111], and decreased emergency department contacts [92,110] and hospital admissions [92]. However, other studies reported no reduction in morbidity [112], QoL [88,92], or health care use [88], or improvement in symptom perception [88] when using PEF monitoring [112]. Moreover, Kamps et al [112] and Brouwer et al [113] concluded that PEF monitoring is not recommended in children with asthma on a routine basis, but can be helpful in some patients and can help to identify asthma triggers.

    For interventions that include home spirometry monitoring, the results are also inconclusive, as some studies showed an improved QoL [94] and increased asthma control [96,114], whereas others showed no improvement in QoL [102] or the number of exacerbations [102]. Spirometry and PEF measurements at home are still an ongoing research topic, as several protocol studies included home monitoring of lung function to study the effects on perception, QoL, adherence, and health care use [115-117].

    Physical Activity Domain

    Our search yielded 13 studies. Accelerometry is a common method to objectively track physical activity and was used in all included studies. Accelerometry was often used complementary to measurements from other asthma monitoring domains [3,23,24,28,31-34,118,119]. For example, Rhee et al [118], Buonocore et al [31], and Hosseini et al [24] combined physical activity measurements with monitoring asthma symptoms, as physical activity is known to be a potential trigger for childhood asthma. Moreover, Fletcher et al [23] used activity levels to correct for increased exposure to air pollution due to an increased breathing frequency during activity.

    Studies that investigated the correlation between physical activity levels and asthma symptoms revealed different relations. Some showed no correlation between activity levels and asthma symptoms [3,120], whereas others showed decreased physical activity levels in children with a history of wheezing in the last 12 months [121].

    Sleep Domain

    Nine articles were found for the sleep domain. Different methods of sleep assessment were used. The studies mainly used actigraphy [3,33,54,57,120,122], and some studies used ballistography [123] and a digital questionnaire [113,124]. Bian et al [120] used both actigraphy and a sleep questionnaire, and showed only a moderate correlation between the 2 approaches.

    Most studies were observational studies [3,33,54,57,120,122-124] that investigated the relation between sleep and asthma. Sadeh et al [57] described a close correlation between pulmonary function and sleep quality in children with asthma, as well as significantly different sleep patterns in stable asthmatics compared with healthy controls. van der Kamp et al [3] revealed a significantly earlier wake-up time in uncontrolled asthmatics compared with controlled asthmatics [3]. In the study by Reynolds et al [122], children with more asthma-related comorbidities (such as allergic rhinitis, overweight, and sleep-disordered breathing) were at greater risk for shorter sleep duration.

    Audiovisual Measures Domain

    Twenty-seven studies were found, and all used sound recordings, focusing on the presence, quantity, or characterization of wheeze or cough (13 studies focused on wheeze, 8 on cough, and 5 on both), mainly in primary school children (20/27, 74%). None of the retrieved studies used video recordings. There were several ways that cough or wheeze were recorded at home, such as microphones placed in the room [22], close to the mouth [125-129], or at the chest or trachea [128-130]. Yu et al [131] used a soft stethoscope that reduced ambient sounds, and Satat et al [132] used an array of stethoscopes to allow localization of respiratory sounds. Electromyography measurements in addition to audio recordings of cough can be helpful to reduce misinterpretation of audio signals [22,133,134]. From 2015 onwards, smartphones were increasingly used as a recording device for respiratory sounds [135].

    Already in 1985, Archer et al [136] reported that cough recordings were a feasible way of objectifying nocturnal cough symptoms at home, and that objective measurements did not correlate with diary card scores reported by parents [137]. Bentur et al [58] found a similar result regarding wheezing.

    Many studies focused on the development of algorithms to accurately identify wheeze [128,129,135,138,139] or cough [118,126,140,141] by signal processing. Wheezing algorithms traditionally used short-time Fourier transformations to retrieve dominant sound components and extract identifying wheezing features [128,139]. New methods have been developed to increase its sensitivity for low-intensity wheezes [129] and to decrease the computation time for real-time application [138]. Cough algorithms often used both temporal and spectrum analysis techniques to retrieve relevant characteristics [126,140]. Machine learning approaches, such as hidden Markov models, could then be used to combine relevant characteristics in order to distinguish silence, background noise, and cough [141].

    The first development and pilot studies on cough monitoring showed some significant differentiating characteristics between asthmatic and nonasthmatic cough; however, there was a considerable error rate, suggesting that multivariate analysis would be required for accurate discrimination [125-127].

    The cough count was the primary parameter used for monitoring purposes. Several studies found that cough occurred more frequently in children with current wheezing compared to asymptomatic children (39% vs 19%) [137] and also in children with mild asthma compared to healthy children [133]. Rietveld et al [55] showed that explicitly during exacerbations, children with asthma coughed significantly more than children without asthma. When cough counts were monitored over time, low to moderate temporal correlations were found with conventional measures of asthma symptoms and symptom control [142].

    Several studies investigated the correlation of the presence of wheezing and lung function parameters. The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of wheezing for a reduction in PEF of >20% were 88% and 92%, respectively [56]. Patients with objective nocturnal wheezing were characterized by a low morning FEV1 (51%) and a larger diurnal variation in FEV1 [58], and the nocturnal wheeze rate corresponded well with changes in FEV1 and symptom scores [143].

    Other Physiological Measurements Domain

    Fourteen studies were found, and of these, 11 described measurements related to heart rate [3,21,24,31,34,123,144-148]. Other measurements involved respiratory rate [3,123], electromyography [137], and pulse oximetry [22]. Most studies focused on younger children (aged <12 years). Starting around 2017, some studies combined different wearable sensors [24,31,34] or integrated sensors with smart watches [21].

    Several studies found a relation between physiological monitoring data and asthma control. Kazuma et al [144-146] in their studies from 1997 and 2000 showed decreased heart rate variability with seasonal variation in children with asthma compared to healthy controls. Huffaker et al [123] showed that heart rate parameters during nighttime were able to predict loss of asthma control before the subject’s perception of symptoms with high specificity and accuracy, but low sensitivity. van der Kamp et al [3] discovered a prolonged respiratory and heart rate recovery time after exercise in patients with uncontrolled asthma compared to patients with controlled asthma and healthy controls. Additionally, patients with uncontrolled asthma showed a higher nighttime respiratory rate.

    Intervention Studies

    One systematic review was found, which revealed no evidence to support or refute the added value of pulse oximeters to self-monitor oxygen saturation levels as part of home monitoring using a personalized asthma action plan, since the systematic search yielded zero randomized controlled trial studies [149].

    Questionnaires Domain

    Twenty-four studies were found, and they focused on both primary school children and adolescents. Digital questionnaires could be divided into asthma symptom questionnaires, such as the Childhood Asthma Control Test (ACT) or Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ), and ecological momentary assessment, which is the collection of data from individuals in their own environment close to the occurrence to capture momentary experiences, such as thoughts, behaviors, or symptoms, when they occur. This can provide context to gathered data and prevent recall bias [31,150-152].

    When comparing electronic and paper questionnaires, equal symptom scores and missing answers [153,154] and good internal consistency [155] were reported. Vargas et al [156] described higher concordance of a nurse interview and an electronic questionnaire compared to a paper questionnaire. Patients and their parents preferred electronic questionnaires over paper questionnaires [155], and electronic questionnaires tended to be classified as feasible [155-157]. van Vliet et al [158] stated that combining electronic symptom questionnaires and spirometry provides a more realistic view on asthma control than retrospective assessment during consultations in the hospital; however, adherence to electronic questionnaires and spirometry monitoring was low [158].

    Nkoy et al [159] adjusted the ACT so that it could be used as a weekly monitoring tool and included a color-coded visual representation of symptom severity, which was shown to be reliable, valid, and responsive to change over time. Digital questionnaires were also used to validate other home-monitoring devices, such as FeNO [50,53], air quality [38,44], and cough sensors [142].

    Intervention Studies

    Eleven intervention studies using digital questionnaires were found, and of these, 8 used the ACT [14,15,96,160-164], 1 used the ACQ [165], and 2 used a different type of symptom score questionnaire [98,166]. Questionnaires were used within the interventions to keep track of asthma symptoms [96,98,160,161] or to alert health care professionals (HCPs) when symptoms increased [15,163,166]. Questionnaires were sometimes combined with other asthma control parameters (eg, lung function [98,167]) or a digital action plan [96,167].

    Rikkers-Mutsaert et al [167] found a significant increase in asthma control and QoL after 3 months of “internet-based self-management” monitoring using an algorithm based on the ACQ to adjust asthma treatment when compared to usual care. However, this effect was no longer seen after 12 months [167]. Additionally, van den Wijngaart et al [15,162] showed a larger increase in the ACT score and more symptom-free days after receiving care through the “Virtual Asthma Clinic” that uses ACT monitoring compared to usual care, despite a decrease in login frequency during the 16 months of use. Asthma monitoring by use of questionnaires was cost-effective in the studies by van den Wijngaart et al; however, in the study by Beerthuizen et al [161], cost-effectiveness was not significantly proven.

    Medication Monitoring Domain

    Our search identified 39 development/validation studies on medication monitoring, focusing on both younger children (25 studies) and adolescents (27 studies; 18 studies focused on children of both age groups). The adherence rate of maintenance medication is an important and often monitored parameter [28,168,169], and other measurements at home include the assessment of inhaler technique and the timing, frequency, and location of rescue medication use. HCPs reported that the most significant benefit of medication monitoring is the ability to obtain real-time intervisit data and set alert thresholds based on the frequency of rescue inhaler use or the proportion of rescue versus controller inhaler use [170]. Others pointed out that it can be helpful to determine the context in which inhaler medication was used to assess the reasons for nonadherence [150,171,172].

    Several ways of monitoring adherence were described, including electronic dose counters [3,33,42,169,173-185], electronic self-report of adherence [118,186], ecological momentary assessment [150,151,172], a chatbot that informs about medication adherence [187], and monitoring of inhaler adherence or technique through video or daily phone diary [49,151]. Electronic dose counters usually have the ability to register the amount of puffs used and sometimes to remind when the canister is empty [188] or when a dose is missed [189].

    Electronic dose counters have shown satisfactory feasibility [189] and reliability [174,180] to remotely monitor real-time medication use, with 98% of returned monitors fully functioning and only 3.5% data loss [174]. The most common failure was actuation underrecording, indicating the importance of quality control [180]. Reviews concluded that electronic monitors are accurate but more costly than other methods of medication monitoring [168,190,191]. Chen et al [173,176] therefore described the development of low-cost electronic dose counters. Limited studies investigated inhaler technique monitoring. Nichols et al [151] concluded that monitoring of inhaler technique by video capture was feasible, and Nikander et al [184] showed a stable inhaler technique over time, even with declining adherence.

    Several studies compared the accuracy of electronic adherence monitoring and self-report [178,185,191,192]. Pearce et al [191] and Bender et al [185] reported that self-report is insufficient to provide a stand-alone measure of adherence, as adherence is generally overreported in interviews, and others concluded that electronic dose counters are more accurate than adherence self-report [192] and adequately reliable when validated to canister weight [31]. Butz et al [178] furthermore concluded that electronic medication monitoring is a more precise measure of long-term medication use than self-report on diary cards, but that diary cards seem to be a valid alternative for short-term monitoring of medication use.

    Increased usage of reliever medication was correlated with worse asthma control [3,172]. Walders et al [177] however stated that monitoring controller medication adherence may be more predictive of long-term morbidity than rescue medication use.

    Intervention Studies

    Sixty-nine intervention studies were found, and of these, 23% (16/69) were review or opinion articles. Boutopoulou et al [193] emphasized the remarkable heterogeneity between adherence assessment tools, although electronic metered-dose inhaler counters were the most common type of medication monitoring tool used in the intervention studies (over two-thirds [36/53, 68%] of studies). Most (38/53, 72%) medication monitoring interventions exclusively used medication monitoring as a single monitoring domain. A total of 9 studies (9/69, 13%) reported the combined use of medication monitoring with lung function monitoring [34,89,92,101,103,108,194-197]. Only Bui et al [34] reported a pilot intervention of a multimodal monitoring intervention including medication monitoring.

    Katwa et al [198] described that a device to monitor adherence ideally reminds patients about taking medication. Overall, 40% (21/53) of intervention studies used medication reminders as a tool to increase adherence. Two distinct ways of reminding were (1) standard reminders [199-202] and (2) reminders based on monitored use [203-207]. Some studies used automatic reminders (text message feedback [206], audiovisual reminders in the device [204], and app-based reminders [207]), whereas other studies had nurses [205,208] or pharmacists [78,200,209] providing feedback. Moreover, 2 studies used the pharmacy refill data to remind patients that their inhaled corticosteroids prescription would soon be overdue [210,211].

    Moreover, several protocol articles on eHealth and medication monitoring were found [78,196,197,209,212-215], and all mentioned that electronic medication monitoring will be used. In most of these protocols, medication adherence will be monitored and reminders will be used to optimize adherence [129,196,197,212,214,215]. Sportel et al [196] will also measure the inhalation technique with a smart inhaler device that can measure inhalation flow, duration, and orientation based on accelerometer sensors in the add-on device.

    Usability and Feasibility

    User experiences with electronic medication monitors vary when used in intervention studies. Interviews with HCPs revealed nearly unanimous agreement on the importance of electronic medication monitoring in outpatient asthma management [216]. It provides patients with an opportunity to demonstrate the responsibility they have for their condition and allows them to experience a greater sense of independence [217]. Several studies showed satisfactory feasibility of electronic monitoring [218-220]. Children and caregivers prefer devices that provide objective measures of activation, inhalation, and technique that are accurate, require little effort, and are easy to use and fit into existing routines [221,222]. Howard et al [217] reported on adolescents’ perspectives with regard to the use of automatic reminders in electronic medication monitoring and found that despite appreciating the helpfulness and overall benefit, many participants indicate that reminders could be annoying.

    Feasibility concerns with electronic monitors were data transmission failure or data loss [223-225], device loss [225], and misfit of the device and canister [224]. Implementation of medication monitoring in clinical practice also revealed the challenges of the integration of sensor data with electronic health records and the adequate education of clinical staff to work with the electronic medication monitors and their generated data [216].

    Effects on Adherence

    In several eHealth intervention studies, automatic dose counters [194,202,226,227], pharmacy refill data [208,228], or digital diaries [195,199,201] were only used to assess medication adherence as an outcome measure, whereas other studies intervened based on medication monitoring data [190,203,229]. All studies that used reminders based on electronic medication monitoring showed a positive effect of reminders on inhaled corticosteroid adherence [203-206,210,211,230]. Furthermore, Kosse et al [200,231] showed that increased activity in a digital chat with an HCP correlated with improved self-reported adherence, while other mobile app functionalities like therapy education, peer chat, and symptom questionnaires did not affect adherence.

    Monitoring interventions (with or without reminders) yielded positive effects; however, effect sizes were variable [190,203,229]. In the pooled analysis of Jeminiwa et al [10], the comparison of an eHealth intervention and control indicated a small but significant effect on medication adherence (standard mean difference=0.41; 95% CI 0.02-0.79). This was especially true for mobile health studies including audiovisual and text message reminders. Moreover, some specifically investigated nonadherence rates among pediatric asthma patients showed a decline in nonadherence rates using electronic medication monitoring with feedback [229].

    Data on the sustained effects of improvement in adherence following medication monitoring are limited. Behrooz et al [230] showed a decrease in electronically measured adherence over a 12-week period while the intervention continued, whereas Spaulding et al [232] showed a sustained effect of electronic monitoring and feedback on medication adherence in their small pilot study up until 30 days after they stopped feedback (5 patients).

    Effects on Asthma Outcomes

    Increased asthma control, and reduced night-time wheezing, emergency department visits, and oral corticosteroid use were reported with sensor-based medication monitoring [233], whereas others showed no significant improvement in asthma outcomes [210,234]. A systematic review by Adejumo et al [235] showed meaningful sustained improvement in asthma-related outcomes in 20% of the included studies.

    Monitoring Reliever Use and Inhalation Technique

    While most studies focused on monitoring controller inhalation therapy, 3 intervention studies focused on monitoring rescue inhalation therapy [236-238]. These studies showed that monitoring SABA use and providing feedback led to a reduction in SABA use and an increase in symptom-free days [236-238]. Moreover, Barrett et al [236] used electronic monitoring of SABA use in combination with air quality data to identify geographical “hot spots” triggering asthma, and the data were used for policy recommendations regarding improvement of air quality.

    Although the inhalation technique is an important aspect to achieve good effects of inhalation therapy, only 9 studies reported on monitoring of the inhalation technique at home by use of eHealth [92,239,240]. In these articles, there were 2 distinct ways of monitoring the inhalation technique: remote observation of therapy [92,239,240] and electronic measurement of aspects of the inhalation technique [89,196,232]. It was demonstrated that audiovisual support regarding the inhalation technique is feasible [229], can help to improve effective medication use by providing feedback on the inhalation technique [92,239,240], and can lead to improved ACT scores [229]. Bynum et al [240] showed that education and feedback for the metered-dose inhaler technique by video consultation were more effective than written instructions.

    Digital Environment Domain

    Our search identified 83 development and validation studies. Digital interventions used different strategies to allow remote monitoring, such as diaries and communication tools. Education, digital action plans, and automatic reminders were other components of digital environments to support asthma monitoring and treatment.

    Several development studies emphasized the importance of patient-centered design approaches to meet the needs and priorities of users [241-247]. Jácome et al [248] reported that two-thirds of asthma patients expressed interest in using an app to manage their asthma, which was similar to the finding in patients with other health conditions. Interviews with patients about user preferences revealed which features of hypothetical apps were deemed important, such as reminders [230,247,249,250], tracking [230,247,249,250], social interaction [247,250,251], educational content [230,246,247,252], emergency support [247,250], and expert access [247,250]. Furthermore, the preference of customization of app features according to preferences and schedules was mentioned in several studies [247,249,253-257]. Moreover, younger children and adolescents showed different needs and user patterns regarding asthma apps [162].

    The facilitators for using digital environments for pediatric asthma management were enthusiastic initiators, tailoring of care to individual patients, and long-term profit and efficiency [164]. The main barriers for the use of apps were technical problems or loss of data due to software updates [224], loss of devices [224], concerns about privacy [258], integration with the electronic medical record [164], increased clinical workload [164], and lack of financial reimbursement for services outside the routine of HCPs [258]. Meischke et al [259] showed that demographics and computer-related variables were not related to the engagement of interactive web programs.

    Digital environments are increasingly including options to acquire and share monitoring data from previously mentioned monitoring domains, including medication monitoring [34,151,189,224,231,236,256], lung function [34,151,189,224,231,236,256], air pollution [23,24,28,31,33-35,124,236,260,261], and sleep or activity [28,33,34,118]. Digital environments enable easy interpretation using simple visualization of monitoring data [21,24]. Real-time analytics through clinical decision algorithms could eventually provide medical recommendations based on actual monitoring data [24].

    Monitoring Components

    A digital diary was often included to monitor asthma features, such as a report of personal asthma symptoms, medication use, or activity [28,33,118,124,153,186,187,199,200,249, 252,262-266]. Furthermore, several studies used predefined methods of logging, such as recurrent online questionnaires [35,54,124,249,259,267-271] or ecological momentary assessment [28,31,151,183]. Simple diary visualization by using icons in a digital calendar can be comprehended by primary school children and is therefore a usable tool to report data [264]. Equivalent [153] or better [265] test-retest reliability was reported for eDiaries compared to paper-and-pencil diaries, with a higher compliance [265].

    Over 25% (21/83) of studies on digital interventions described the use of some form of online communication with peers, physicians, nurses, pharmacists, or other HCPs within the intervention. The different forms of communication included chatting [187,264,272], text messaging [224,257,258,267,273,274], video consulting [275], and calling [208,276]. Several studies reported the use of automated chatbots, which revealed good usability and the ability to elicit daily responses [187,264,272]. Yoo et al [250] described that most online communication tools were task focused instead of socioemotional. Roberts et al [277] showed that the majority of adolescents believed that apps could enhance communication with their medical provider and give them more control in the patient-provider relationship. This was also recognized in a pilot study by Haze et al [267], where teenagers and HCPs perceived improved access and quick response times when using a telephone app to communicate.

    Supportive Components

    Many studies included some form of educational content [187,200,219,231,242,243,249,252,262,263,267,276,278-281]. Others included education by peer support as sharing experiences can help to learn practical skills such as managing asthma, seeking support, or self-advocacy [251,263]. Schneider et al [243] demonstrated that patients preferred education through concise text or short videos (<10 min). Moreover, over the past years, asthma action plans have been integrated into digital asthma care technology [28,33,267,268,271,278,282]. Odom et al [268] showed the positive feasibility of digital asthma action plans.

    Gamification was sometimes used with the aim to improve asthma knowledge and management [249,261,278,283], or more specifically improve treatment adherence [199,203] or spirometric adherence and quality [75,76]. An example of a visual incentive to improve home spirometry is real-time feedback through a dragon that spits fire based on spirometric performance [75,76]. Another game element that was often included to achieve and maintain compliance was a reward system [199].

    Furthermore, automatic reminders were integrated into many digital environments, for example, to send sensor data or take maintenance medication [35,67,118,187,199,200,203,231,249, 263,276,282,284].

    Intervention Studies

    Seventy-six intervention studies were found within the digital intervention domain. Digital interventions for optimal and personalized asthma management included a range of digital tools for self-monitoring of symptoms or disease control, and addressed self-management action plans and patient educational materials [285]. The interventions were mostly performed by a nurse or were app based, and sometimes a medical specialist, pharmacist, or other HCP performed the intervention. Overall, 74% (56/76) of these interventions were mobile based, especially in the last few years. Future studies will focus on a variety of digital interventions, often combining different monitoring tools, such as a diary, lung function measurements, medication adherence, and ACT scores [117,152,197,209,213,285,286], with a trend toward more automatization in remote monitoring [117,209,213].

    Several reviews showed that digital interventions can be beneficial for adherence, asthma self-management, and asthma control [7,8,287-289]. The effects of digital interventions were categorized into the following outcome measures: symptoms, QoL, lung function, adherence, self-management, health care use, and school absence.

    Symptoms

    Twenty-two studies showed significant asthma-related symptom reduction [8,14,98,290], whereas 9 studies showed no effect of the intervention on asthma symptoms [52,194,202,291-296]. Larger effects on asthma symptoms were reported when children had uncontrolled asthma at baseline [189,211,297].

    Asthma questionnaires, such as the ACT [14,65,93,94,96,98,163,195,202,237,290,291,298-300] and ACQ [208,301] were often used to report asthma symptoms. Other measures used to specify asthma symptoms were SABA use [236-238] and symptom-free days [236,237,294,302] or alternative quantitative or qualitative methods to assess asthma symptoms. Overall, 87% (20/23) of the studies that showed significant improvements in asthma symptoms used a quantitative measure (eg, ACT, ACQ, symptom-free days, or SABA use).

    Although some studies within the development and validation phase focused on symptom perception [118,245], no intervention studies reported on symptom perception as an outcome measure.

    QoL

    Of the 19 studies that reported on the effect regarding QoL, 10 reported a positive effect [8,98,290,303] and the other 9 reported no difference [14,293,304,305] regarding the studied intervention. There was no clear difference in the types of interventions that had significant or no significant effect on QoL.

    Lung Function

    A limited number of studies used lung function as an outcome measure. Five studies showed an improvement in lung function [8,92,95,98,289], whereas 4 studies showed equal lung function after the intervention [52,94,195,302]. There was no clear difference in the types of interventions that had significant or no significant effect on lung function outcomes.

    Adherence

    Most studies (19/23, 83%) showed a positive effect of their digital intervention on controller medication adherence [96,98,304,305], whereas few studies showed no effect [208,297]. This corresponds with the review results of Ramsey et al [8], who showed that 87% of digital interventions improved adherence. Furthermore, Fiks et al [228] reported an improvement only in children with uncontrolled asthma at baseline, and Wiecha et al [194] only reported improvement when baseline adherence was poor. Factors that had a positive impact on adherence were related to active involvement with the intervention, such as regular use of an app [96] and the use of the provided chat function [231].

    Self-management

    Different measures were used to define self-management, such as asthma knowledge score, self-confidence, support-seeking, coping, and self-efficacy score. Five studies showed an improvement in self-management [98,103,290,300,306], whereas 2 studies showed no effect [93,208]. The review by Tan et al [307] scored different asthma apps on a list of 6 self-management principles and reported that many apps fell short on these self-management principles. The 2 main components of digital interventions that reported on the influence on asthma self-management were (1) online education [98,103,290,300,306] and (2) the use of a digital asthma action plan [93,300].

    Health Care Use and Costs

    Within the studies that reported on health care use and costs, 2 types of interventions could be identified. The first type of intervention tried to replace current outpatient visits with digital alternatives, such as teleconsultation [291,302,308] or digital symptom monitoring [14,15]. These studies all reported reductions in outpatient care [14,291,302,308]. The Cochrane review by Kew et al [291] concluded that current randomized evidence does not demonstrate any important differences between face-to-face and remote asthma check-ups in terms of exacerbations, asthma control, or QoL. The second type of digital intervention aimed to reduce total or urgent health care use by improving asthma management and asthma control. Within this category, 6 studies showed reduced health care use [163,289,298,305,309,310], while 4 studies showed no significant change in health care use [14,87,293,297,311]. It is remarkable that although many studies adopted urgent care use as an outcome measure (emergency visits and hospital admissions), few studies reported on health care costs or cost effectiveness [298,311].

    School Absence

    Four studies showed a positive effect of the intervention on school absence [8,163,290,298], whereas 8 studies showed no significant effect [14,194,289,294,296,297,305]. A common factor in successful interventions was active involvement or interaction with HCPs after the digital intervention in terms of personalized feedback [290], nurse-led management [298], or proactive contact when issues were identified [163].


    Reflection on Review Results

    In this scoping review, we identified and analyzed the relevant monitoring domains of the large spectrum of eHealth technologies for the monitoring and treatment of pediatric asthma. We identified the noninferiority and potential superiority of eHealth monitoring, although there was a large heterogeneity in study designs and outcome measures. This review furthermore revealed limited literature on multiparameter monitoring strategies.

    The application of eHealth technologies has shown an accelerated increase in the last couple of years. The outcomes of the review showed the potency for efficacy of most monitoring domains, with the requirement of further research to eventually achieve benefits in the treatment of pediatric asthma. Medication monitoring appeared to be an important domain, with an overall positive effect on adherence as well as asthma outcomes. However, the potential bias of study participation on increasing medication adherence should be taken into account. The digital environment domain showed that mobile-based apps especially promoted easy use of eHealth tools and provided support in monitoring and treatment through various functionalities (such as diaries, digital action plans, and education). Studies in the review furthermore indicated that acceptable and reproducible lung function monitoring could be performed at home, which may allow the objective follow-up of airway obstruction over time. Digital questionnaires seemed useful to monitor asthma symptoms in an easy and low-cost way. The remaining domains (sleep, audiovisual, and other physiological measurements) showed potential to objectively map manifestations of asthma, but there was a lack of intervention studies to determine their added value for the monitoring or treatment of pediatric asthma. Monitoring air quality and physical activity can provide context to asthma control monitoring and potentially fit within a multiparameter monitoring strategy. Contrary to other domains, airway inflammation markers (ie, FeNO) seemed to show no additional benefit for home monitoring of asthma and may have better effectiveness as targeted diagnostics in specific patients in a hospital setting [379,380]. These eHealth developments match the main focus of asthma monitoring in the GINA asthma guideline, indicating that asthma monitoring should include assessment of asthma control parameters, treatment issues, and other factors that contribute to symptom burden and poor QoL.

    The development of eHealth technologies has become more user-centered and focused on digital connectivity and integration into existing health systems, as well as feasibility and usability. Validation studies focused on the validity of home-based measurements compared to hospital-based measurements and the correlation of home-measured data with asthma outcomes. Increasing numbers of intervention studies were seen from 2014, and they focused on the application and implementation of eHealth technologies, with various pragmatic study designs.

    Although the heterogeneity of eHealth study designs and outcome measures complicates comparability, this review showed that eHealth technologies may benefit health outcomes and may at least show no adverse effects on asthma-related health outcomes or asthma management. Scoping reviews for eHealth in other fields have confirmed the heterogeneity in study outcomes [16,17] and have found sparse evidence on negative outcomes or adverse effects [381,382]. This may indicate either the overall noninferiority of eHealth efficacy or the underreporting of adverse outcomes [383].

    Future Perspectives

    The domain-specific discussions of results, research gaps, and future research opportunities are presented in the domain-specific sections in Multimedia Appendix 3 [2,3,5,8,10,13,22-24,28,31,33,34,55,58,59,64,66-70,73,75,76,78,83-85, 87-90,92,96,102,113,118,120,121,123,125-132,144-146,155, 156,168,169,176,179,181,189,196,211, 212,228,229,231,239,240,248,297,327,333,343,353,374,375,384-411], and the future research opportunities are summarized in Table 2.

    Overarching future directions of studies in the field of eHealth technologies for pediatric asthma care are discussed below, and they involve: (1) modifying potentially relevant hospital-based diagnostics for the home setting, and (2) developing multiparameter monitoring strategies (combining parameters from different monitoring domains), with the aim to adequately assess the factors influencing asthma control and provide personalized asthma treatment.

    This review focused on eHealth technologies that were applied in the home setting. Hospital-based monitoring techniques and parameters might also potentially benefit home monitoring. Some hospital-based studies may use similar monitoring techniques and parameters as found in the included home-based studies (such as oxygen saturation, acoustic parameters, and lung function indices). Future research on these studies can enhance the understanding of these parameters, the monitoring domains, and the relations to clinical asthma outcomes. On the other hand, some hospital-based studies may provide new diagnostic opportunities such as bioimpedance [412], airway resistance during tidal breathing [413], forced oscillation technique [414], exhaled breath profiles and temperatures [415], diaphragm electromyography [416], and plethysmography variability [417-419]. Future research is needed to specifically review which hospital-based monitoring technologies may be beneficial for the home assessment of pediatric asthma. This may bring additional clinically relevant diagnostic technologies to the home environment, allowing assessment of real-life symptomatic periods, and may enable temporal monitoring strategies following the fluctuating asthma course and possibly provide opportunities to design cost-effective eHealth monitoring strategies.

    This scoping review revealed several common overlapping monitoring domains, such as questionnaires and digital environment, lung function measurements and air quality, and medication monitoring and digital environment. However, limited literature on multiparameter monitoring using three or more domains was found. Childhood asthma however is a heterogenous and dynamic disease, which encompasses different phenotypes and variable clinical manifestations depending on, for example, the disease course, asthma management, and environmental influences [420,421]. In daily practice, the pediatrician combines and weighs the dynamics of different medical domains, such as anamnesis, physical examination, diagnostic tests, and previous experiences, for clinical decision-making, in order to optimize the assessment of asthma control. Most home diagnostics only encompass information of a specific asthma domain, lacking sensitivity to assess the control of asthma. Combining different home-monitoring domains and allowing multiparameter monitoring could promote the identification of personal cues of disruption of asthma control. This may facilitate the development of effective and personalized health care strategies and decision-making through monitoring of personal disrupting cues in order to allow timely short-term detection of asthma control deterioration [422]. The lack of multiparameter eHealth intervention studies emphasizes the need to further investigate multidomain monitoring. Furthermore, advanced analyses of multiparameter-generated data, such as machine learning and artificial intelligence data, could reveal new knowledge regarding asthma classification, monitoring, and treatment from different domains of home-monitoring data [423].

    • Investigate the added value of visual recordings compared to audio recordings alone
    Other physiological measurements
    • Investigate the added value of other physiological parameters (such as heart rate, respiratory rate, pulse oximetry, and electromyography) in asthma monitoring
    • Investigate the added value of other physiological measurements in a multiparameter asthma monitoring strategy at home.
    Questionnaires
    • Investigate if there are specific patient characteristics (eg, age, sex, and asthma severity) that can identify children with a good symptom perception who can be adequately monitored by questionnaires and children with a poor symptom perception who require additional monitoring
    • Investigate the added value of questionnaire monitoring in multiparameter asthma monitoring
    Medication monitoring
    • Investigate the long-term effects of medication monitoring interventions on adherence and asthma outcomes
    • Investigate the best personalized strategies to provide feedback based on medication monitoring data to optimize adherence
    Digital environment
    • Investigate which components of digital environments are most effective
    • Investigate how digital environments for pediatric asthma can be optimized to maximize effectiveness for health outcomes

    Strengths and Limitations

    This study provides a unique broad overview of all pediatric asthma eHealth home-monitoring literature as it reviewed the available evidence of monitoring domains and identified future directions in all monitoring domains. A disadvantage of such a broad scoping search was the large number of studies in both the title/abstract screening and the full-text review, which led to the limitation of no second search. For systematic reviews, a second search close to publication is preferred to ensure that the review is up-to-date [424]. However, in this case, with the expanding field of eHealth and the use of a broad scoping review question, there would have been a delay in providing information, and timely publication of scoping information may particularly be of great relevance in the current rapidly advancing field, allowing the identification of research gaps and future research opportunities [18,425].

    Conclusion

    This systematic scoping review provides a unique overview of eHealth pediatric asthma monitoring studies, and it revealed that eHealth research takes place throughout different monitoring domains using different approaches. Moreover, it seemed that intervention outcomes of eHealth pediatric asthma monitoring are noninferior and show potential superiority. Future studies could focus on combining home-monitoring domains to facilitate multiparameter decision-making and personalized clinical decision support.
