The purpose of this study is to measure the feasibility of use of a digital pulmonary rehabilitation tool compared with standard care home program pulmonary rehabilitation.
The study design is a between subjects (Usual care/App) repeated measures (pre/post) design to compare the feasibility of usual care compared with the digital app, Inspiration Point, used in the home for 8 weeks.

Medical Outcomes Scale VR-12
Survey of health status and quality of life From (https://www.rand.org/health-care/surveys\_tools/mos/36-item-short-form/scoring.html) "Scoring the RAND 36-Item Health Survey is a two-step process. First, precoded numeric values are recoded per the scoring key given in Table 1. Note that all items are scored so that a high score defines a more favorable health state. In addition, each item is scored on a 0 to 100 range so that the lowest and highest possible scores are 0 and 100, respectively. Scores represent the percentage of total possible score achieved. In step 2, items in the same scale are averaged together to create the 8 scale scores. Table 2 lists the items averaged together to create each scale. Items that are left blank (missing data) are not taken into account when calculating the scale scores. Hence, scale scores represent the average for all items in the scale that the respondent answered."
Time frame: Change from baseline VR-12 score at 2 months
St Georges Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ)

Lung Information Needs Questionnaire (LINQ)
The questionnaire used to identify a person with COPD's need for information about their disease. The questionnaire measures the extent to which the patient needs more information, as perceived by the patient and clinician. It is scored to produce an overall score and 6 domain scores (Disease knowledge, medicines, self-management, exercise, diet, smoking). The score is the sum of all 6 domains with a range from 0-25. High scores indicate high information needs, a lower score is better.
Time frame: Change from baseline Lung Information Needs Questionnaire score at 2 months
Software Usability Scale (SUS)
