Service development project to pilot a digital technology innovation for video direct observation of therapy in adult patients with asthma.

The v-DOT technology was shown to be a feasible method of assessing inhaler technique and monitoring adherence in this small group of adult asthma patients. A range of positive impacts for participating patients and clinicians were observed. Not all patients invited to join the project agreed to participate or engage with using the technology, highlighting that in this setting, digital modes of delivering care provide only one of the approaches in the necessary "tool kit" for clinicians and patients.
