NICE Asthma bot-Asthma Management Guide

Example

For a 7-year-old patient with suspected asthma, the bot can advise on the recommended objective tests, such as spirometry and FeNO tests, to support diagnosis, as outlined in the NICE guidelines.

Scenario

In a pediatric clinic, a doctor unsure about the next steps in diagnosing a young patient with suspected asthma can consult the bot for a clear diagnostic pathway, ensuring adherence to the latest evidence-based practices.

Example

The bot can guide the creation of written personalised action plans, incorporating strategies to manage symptoms and reduce exposure to triggers.

Scenario

A general practitioner can use the bot's recommendations to develop a comprehensive action plan with a patient, ensuring it includes all necessary components such as medication management and avoidance of known triggers.

Example

It can offer advice on monitoring asthma control using validated questionnaires and objective tests, helping healthcare providers decide when to adjust treatment.

Scenario

During an annual review, a nurse can reference the bot to determine the appropriate monitoring tools for assessing a patient's asthma control and identify any need for treatment adjustments.

Example

The bot can recommend follow-up practices for patients who have received emergency care for an asthma attack, ensuring timely reassessment and adjustment of their asthma management plan.

Scenario

Following a patient's discharge after an asthma exacerbation, a practice nurse can consult the bot to ensure the correct follow-up actions are taken within the recommended timeframe.

Example

For patients with suspected severe asthma, the bot can provide referral guidelines to specialist multidisciplinary services for further assessment and management.

Scenario

A respiratory specialist unsure about the referral process for a patient with difficult-to-control asthma can use the bot to understand the criteria and steps for referring to a specialized severe asthma service.
