Artificial Intelligence Methods and Digital Intervention Strategies for Predicting and Managing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Exacerbations: An Umbrella Review.

ABSTRACT: Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a major global health burden in which acute exacerbations accelerate progression and increase hospitalizations. Emerging technologies, such as wearable biosensors, artificial intelligence (AI), and digital health tools, enable more proactive disease management. Objectives: This umbrella review synthesized evidence from systematic reviews and meta-analyses on (1) AI-driven prediction of COPD exacerbations using low-cost wearable biosignals, and (2) the effectiveness of digital health interventions on disease management, quality of life, and medication adherence. Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science (2015-2025) identified eligible reviews. Methodological quality was assessed using A
