Brief Summary:
Our overall research goal for this project is to create a wearable device and mobile application, appealing to patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), which provides them with appropriate self-management tools and detects AECOPDs early to permit prompt treatment and prevent severe exacerbations requiring hospitalization.
Detailed Description:
Our overall research goal for this project is to create a wearable device and mobile application, appealing to patients with COPD, which provides them with appropriate self-management tools and detects Acute Exacerbations of COPD (AECOPDs) early to permit prompt treatment and prevent severe exacerbations requiring hospitalization. Currently, the investigators are developing a second version of this app, WearCOPDv2. This app will incorporate features identified as being desirable from our patient interviews: 1) new sensor that was requested by patients - oxygen saturation, and 2) the app will incorporate a patient-facing interface as patients requested a method to view their data as well as access to information to learn how to manage their condition better.
Research questions:
Can an app designed for patients with COPD that includes biosensor feedback improve self-management of COPD?
What is the accuracy of our sensor data (heart rate, activity, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, coughing, and other sounds of interest) in detecting early AECOPDs?
