D.L. declares no conflicts of interest. Funding Information: Self-management programs for chronic illnesses were first described regarding children with asthma at The Children's Asthma Research Institute and Hospital. 1,2 This group approached asthma care by involving the patient in his/her own illness management. 2 The importance of self-management for improved asthma care has long been recognized. In 1976, 3 programs were funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) to develop self-management programs in pediatric asthma: Columbia University, the National Asthma Center, and the American Institutes of Research. 3,4 Considerable energy and funding have been dedicated to creating and evaluating self-management programs to improve asthma care, and this has been a priority for the Global Initiative for Asthma and the NHLBI. 5,6 These self-management approaches have evolved over time, and novel technologies are being used for asthma self-management. 7 We review self-management programs in general and specifically the use of technology as an asthma self-management tool in the adolescent population.
