MASK-air®: An OECD (Organisation for Economic Coordination and Development) Best Practice for Public Health on integrated care for chronic diseases.

In the recent report of the Organisation for Economic Coordination and Development (OECD) on Best Practices for Integrating Care to Prevent and Manage Chronic Diseases, an app on rhinitis and asthma (MASK-air®) has been listed. The OECD is a reliable source of evidence-based policy analysis and economic data largely used by governments. It has published several BPs on Public Health. On the 10th of May 2023, the OECD published 13 BPs for Integrating Care to Prevent and Manage Chronic Diseases in the European Union. The report did not cover all models of integrated care, rather, it "focuse(d) on those that are of key strategic interest to policy makers." New MASK-air® studies (not published in the report) include equity, usability of the app in old age adults, economic impact, quality-of-life and allergen immunotherapy. MASK-air® is freely available on iOS and Android in 30 countries and has been recently introduced in the USA. The MASK-air® OECD BP represents a model of digitally-enabled, patient-centred care for chronic diseases using a holistic approach of shared decision making.
