Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1This trial uses an AI-powered robot to help children with asthma use their inhalers correctly and stick to their medication schedule — is that something you think could actually address the specific challenges we've been having at home?
2Since this trial is listed as 'not yet recruiting,' do you have a sense of when it might open, and would it make more sense for us to start with standard asthma education and care now rather than waiting?
3One of the things this study is measuring is caregiver burden — how much would our family realistically need to commit in terms of time and involvement to participate, and is that feasible given our current situation?
4The trial is listed as Phase NA, which suggests it's not testing a drug but rather a behavioral or technology-based approach — does that change the safety risks compared to a typical medication trial, and what, if anything, could go wrong?
5If we don't join this trial, are there other proven programs or tools already available that address inhaler technique and medication adherence in children with asthma, so we can compare our options?

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
