This is a pilot study to demonstrate early validation of objective home-monitoring of Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients by combining accurate and relevant patient data of medication and lung function (lung impedance) through patient-facing devices.
The study goals are to demonstrate early validation of objective home-monitoring of COPD patients using CareCOPD mature devices, paving way for follow-up work of care integration and larger studies. The data will consist of time-series airway obstruction parameters, medication quality, and symptoms data to detect correlations with exacerbation events. 50 COPD patients (diagnosed GOLD 2- 3, C- D for moderate-severe, poorly controlled) will be monitored for 6 months. A successful outcome will be improved acute exacerbation of COPD or AECOPD detection of at least one day earlier than patient-reported assessment (COPD Assessment Test or CAT, modified Medical Research Council or mMRC questionnaires) and false positives of \<20%.
