This will be a 26-week prospective, single arm study. At Visit 1 (in-person visit at day -14), scheduled two weeks before they are due for their next dose of benralizumab, participants will provide informed consent, demographics information, and have Adherium electronic medication monitors (EMM) fitted onto their inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)-containing maintenance and inhaled corticosteroid-short-acting β2-agonist (ICS-SABA) reliever medications . The patient-facing research assistant (pRA) will ask participants for the dates they plan to administer each of the following three doses of benralizumab, at 8-week intervals (±7 days), and schedule video visits two, three, and four on those dates to confirm the patient received the benralizumab. If the patient cannot complete a video visit for directly observed therapy of benralizumab administration, they can also upload a time and date stamped photo of themselves administering the benralizumab to their EMR via the MyChart Patient Portal within 48 hours of administration. Participants will continue usual care with their asthma health care professional, and the study team will collect any interval Asthma Control Test (ACT), spirometry (e.g., forced exhalation volume in the first second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), and FEV1/FVC), and fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) measurements, as well as oral corticosteroid (OCS) use (both OCS bursts and changes in daily OCS dose, as applicable), immediate care visits, emergency department (ED) visits, and hospitalizations for asthma. The pRA will perform all of their tasks under the supervision of the study investigators (an allergist and immunologist and a pulmonologist). At visit one, the pRA will teach each participant how to: attach the Adherium EMM to their ICS-SABA reliever and ICS-containing maintenance medications; download the Adherium asthma App to their smartphone; pair the EMM with their smartphone App; and view their ICS adherence and ICS-SABA usage, as well as inhalation quality, on the App. Each month, under the supervision of the study investigators, the pRA will review the remote therapeutic monitoring data for each participant's ICS-SABA reliever and ICS-containing maintenance medications and document the results of this review in the patient's chart. Data collected during the study include: * Maintenance inhaler use * Rescue inhaler use * Dates of benralizumab administration * Dates of severe asthma exacerbations * Oral corticosteroid use * Healthcare visits for asthma * AIRQ scores * Results from standard of care assessments, including ACT scores, lung function values, FeNO, and absolute eosinophil counts * Demographic information, including age, gender, race, ethnicity, and insurance
