This paper aims to examine the recent experience in telemedicine (TM) management of patients with severe asthma (SA). A committee of health professionals involved in asthma management (pulmonology, allergology, respiratory nursing, and hospital pharmacy) held discussion meetings on the practical experience of TM for the management of SA and the means available complemented with a bibliographic search to know the current status of TM in SA. The main barriers detected for the implementation of TM in SA have been the lack of technological training, the lack of registration of TM in the clinical history, the care overload, or the connectivity problems at the administration level. The practical solutions are provided such as the selection of the patient suitable for TM, the registration of TM in the medical record, its inclusion in the care objectives or the increase of funding for systems. Moreover, the main App and Webapp for use by patients are provided, and the portable equipment for remote functional respiratory tests. In conclusion, it is necessary that the teleconsultation has the same entity as the face-to-face visit with a schedule in the appointment's agenda and a structure of both the medical interview and the tests to be performed in each consultation. Additionally, should be promoted the implementation of a video call system, tools that allow the monitoring of both therapeutic adherence and inhalation technique, as well as the patient's lung function.
