Severe asthma is linked to significant morbidity, health care resource utilization, and long-term sequelae including airway remodeling and a greater risk of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. These consequences emphasize the importance of improved identification and management of patients with severe asthma. Treatment guidelines may be confusing and it may be challenging to keep abreast of new developments. Routine assessments of lung function, frequency and severity of exacerbations, symptom control, and medication adherence are pivotal to provide necessary information for identifying and determining the most appropriate management strategy. An increased understanding of asthma pathophysiology and its correlation to disease activity has identified therapeutic targets. Biologic therapies that target T2 pathways and new supportive digital health technologies mark a new era in asthma management and treatment.
