Healthy at Home for COPD: An Integrated Digital Monitoring, Treatment, and Pulmonary Rehabilitation Intervention.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Frequent exacerbations result in higher use of emergency services and hospitalizations, leading to poor patient outcomes and high costs.

Objective

Demonstrate the feasibility of a multimodal, digitally enhanced remote monitoring, treatment, and tele-pulmonary rehabilitation intervention among patients with COPD.

Methods

In this pilot clinical trial, community-dwelling adults with moderate-severe COPD were enrolled in a multimodal digital monitoring and treatment program including a Fitbit wearable device, study app that tracked COPD-related symptoms, on-demand mobile integrated health (MIH) services for acute home-based treatment, and tele-pulmon
