The specific aim to test this hypothesis is:
To iteratively test VME to teach correct use of metered dose inhaler (MDIs) and dry-powder Diskus® devices to hospitalized patients with Asthma or COPD. We partnered with software development companies to develop VME modules that (self)-assess and teach respiratory inhaler technique to hospitalized participants. We have tested the VME in focus groups. Now that the VME is developed we will iteratively pilot test (n=30-40) the VME strategy (up to 3 rounds (90-120 total)) to obtain important patient feedback,preferences and preliminary efficacy estimates for the module.
We hypothesize that participants' post-VME inhaler technique will be significantly better than their pre-VME inhaler technique.

You may not be if
1. Currently in an intensive care unit
2. Physician declines to provide consent
3. Patient unable to provide consent (e.g., history of cognitive impairment, unable to understand English) or declines to provide consent
