Asthma is a respiratory condition that affects the airways, which causes them to narrow with mucous buildup. Asthma is a condition that affects people of all ages but usually starts in childhood.  While there is no known cure for Asthma, it can be managed with different interventions. One of the interventions are the use of inhalers. Virtual reality allows patients to practice and learn managing techniques to control symptoms. It can provide an interactive way to develop medication adherence and asthma management skills. Telemedicine allows for faster care and treatment options. Digital technology will help with client compliance with interventions.

The use of VR in adult and children with asthma

For Children, the use of VR is more beneficial than usual interventions in managing asthma. Because VR is a simulation that mimics real-life experiences in a scenario of a video game. Children were perceptive and demonstrate an understanding more than the children who use conventional leaflets (usual).

Developing interventions to treat asthma is extremely important. Interventions are tailored based on the patient’s needs. Multiple types of interventions can be used such as administering prescribed medications such as inhalers, lifestyle changes like changing their diet and understanding what triggers their asthma. This can be taught to patients and their families through VR technology, Teaching intervention through VR simulation will allow the patient and their families to have a more immersive experience, which can also be done via a tablet or a smart phone or any virtual reality device. VR technology is a transformative way to teach patients how to properly use their inhalers and to also educate them about asthma and how it may affect their lives

For Children, the use of VR is more beneficial than usual interventions in managing asthma. Because VR is a simulation that mimics real-life experiences in a scenario of a video game. Children were perceptive and demonstrated an understanding more than the children who use conventional leaflets (usual). Asthma education before VR technology was shared via booklets containing picture or it was done with a small group at a hospital. With VR technology it does not required medical staff teaching and it has a great impact on learning effectiveness and compliance in children with asthma. According to the latest study done in Korea by a group of medical professional, VR education satisfactory score was high compared to children using usual interventions like booklets and small group teaching.

The expansion of the use of technology (VR) in the health system will become an important factor for the asthma care model in children in the future. The most relevant information will allow healthcare providers to use this tool to personalize and custom options to help and improve child health with asthma and will show progress on symptoms reports. Before the implementation of VR on child health, will need to implement these steps to succeed in a VR asthma education treatment: Education, patient self-management, adherence and control, prevention of adverse outcomes, and communication, The main object of this investigation after trials proved with this technology in combination with providers and equipment will achieve benefits for patients as well as for the health system.

The power of technology is a great tool used in many case studies to benefit patients with an ailment or disease that may hinder their everyday life. New technologies will allow for patients to be cared for in ways that may better help them learn about what is they are going through and what’s to come. VR simulations can provide an interactive and engaging way for individuals to learn about triggers, medications, and other strategies for managing asthma. VR has the potential to be a useful tool for individuals with asthma to manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life. Telehealth and VR plans of actions can be created for individuals to help manage asthma by improving access to care, providing remote monitoring and support, and enabling self-management. However, it's important to note that these technologies are not a replacement for in-person care and may not be appropriate for all patients or situations. It is important to do proper research as technologies being used for telehealth and VR are still relatively new.
