Using technology alongside a pediatric chronic disease specialist and behavior specialist, the investigators are planning to help care for and coordinate the healthcare of children with chronic diseases, particularly childhood obesity, diabetes and asthma in Miami's most vulnerable communities. The University of (UM) Miller School of Medicine (MSOM) Pediatrics and TeleHealth departments propose to leverage information and communications technologies (ICT) in an innovative approach to improve the quality, access and efficiency of pediatric services for children and their families.

Participants will be recruited from an outpatient clinic site with diagnoses of overweight, obesity or asthma.

There will be a total of 6 visits during the study at approximately 1 month intervals. During the first and last visits, pre- and post-intervention assessment points, quality of life, adherence to medical regimen, physical activity and dietary habits will be gathered. During the follow-up visits, only quality of life will be surveyed. At the initial visit, for overweight children, the patients will be assessed for their behaviors and attitudes regarding eating, physical activity, sedentary time and motivation. If the patient has asthma, the pediatrician will assess understanding of the disease.

Throughout the course of the study the chronic condition pediatrician and behavior specialist will see patients in a consult capacity for their chronic condition, but the patient will continue to see their regular pediatrician for primary care needs. At every visit the pediatrician will review changes since the last visit, and then provide education directed at overweight/obesity and/or asthma. The behavior health specialists will then work with the patients to develop a plan on how to follow their treatment plan and achieve healthy behaviors.

All of the participants will receive access to technology in the form of a tablet computer for the duration of the study. The tablets will be installed with software to help educate patients and their families about asthma and overweight/obesity and track progress in managing them. In addition, all follow-up visits except for the final one will be done using the tablets and a video-conferencing app.

For the first and last visits, all patients will be seen in-person in the clinic. All of the follow-up visits will be done via a video-conferencing app on the tablet computers.
