This clinical investigation will evaluate the patient-equipment interface and patient preference in the use of modern possibilities for remote monitoring of patients with COPD in a personalized care approach.
The primary objective is to evaluate the impact and feasibility of tele monitoring and video contact in personalized care of moderate and severe COPD patients. This should be compared to normal standards of care. The cross-over design evaluates the influence on general HRQOL of this tablet and monitoring system.
