To evaluate the impact of peak expiratory flow (PEF) monitoring using a smart peak flow (SPF) device on the quality of life (QoL) and satisfaction among children with asthma. This 3-month prospective cohort study enrolled 71 children aged 7 to 17 years with physician-diagnosed asthma. Participants used the SPF device twice daily, with measurements recorded automatically. Quality of life was assessed using the Pediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAQLQ), and asthma control was assessed using the Asthma Control Test (ACT) or Childhood Asthma Control Test (C-ACT). Adherence to PEF measurements and satisfaction with the device were evaluated. Seventy-one children (mean age 11. 4 years) completed the study. Adherence to twice-daily PEF measurements decreased significantly over three months (from 50. 0% at 1 month to 39. 9% at 3 months, p
