Background: Pediatric asthma is the most common chronic illness among children and is
associated with poor quality of life, activity restriction, school absences, and thousands of
physician visits annually. The purpose of this study is to measure the effectiveness of using
an innovative tracking system (CareTRx) for the self-management of asthma, including daily
and rescue medication use, among children and adolescents with pediatric asthma.

The primary study objective is to measure the effectiveness of using an innovative tracking
system (CareTRx) for the self-management of asthma, including daily and rescue medication
use, among children with asthma. The study objectives will be achieved using a pre-post
design for the participants. The investigators aim to enroll at least 26 participants for a
3-month intervention period. With this pilot study, the investigators hope to examine the
impact of self-management behaviors on health outcomes including asthma symptoms and quality
of life measures.
