A new era beckons in asthma: enhanced models of care, disease remission, artificial intelligence and consumer participation.

Abstract

The landscape of asthma management is undergoing significant transformation. This change is driven by several factors: deeper understanding of asthma pathophysiology, appreciation of the long-term harm of oral corticosteroids, biological treatments that dramatically improve patient outcomes with asthma remission becoming a realistic goal, and a focus on patient-centred care combined with the use of virtual health and artificial intelligence strategies. This Viewpoint provides a perspective on current dilemmas and then emphasises recent innovations that can provide solutions. If applied judiciously, these advances will enable healthcare professionals to improve outcomes for people with asthma.
