Pilot study of mobile phone technology in allergic rhinitis in European countries: the MASK‐rhinitis study

The use of Apps running on smartphones and tablets profoundly affects medicine. The MASK‐rhinitis (MACVIA‐ARIA Sentinel NetworK for allergic rhinitis) App (Allergy Diary) assesses allergic rhinitis symptoms, disease control and impact on patients’ lives. It is freely available in 20 countries (iOS and Android platforms).
