And in telemed COPD/asthma follow-ups, I add a 60‑second inhaler check I picked up from a CHEST CME: have them angle the camera, exhale fully, then do β€œslow and deep” with a 10‑second hold for MDIs (DPI = quick and deep). If the connection’s choppy, I book a quick in‑person spacer demo or send a GINA technique refresher for homework: https://ginasthma.org.
