Pediatric asthma is a serious problem in Baltimore City, where 20% of children—more than twice the national average—have a diagnosis of asthma. Uncontrolled pediatric asthma is an immense burden for children and their families, leading to missed school days and expensive emergency department visits and hospitalizations. emocha Health’s CEO will present on how emocha is tackling the problem through their Digital Medication Adherence Program. Patients at health systems and health plans across the state are engaged in emocha’s program which combines daily video check-ins with clinical engagement and support. The program improves adherence and reduces inhaler technique errors, two things crucial to controlling asthma, improving outcomes, and reducing ED visits. emocha’s program is a model for how digital health can offer convenient, supportive, and impactful patient-centered care.
