Abstract
  • There has been significant interest in innovative ways to improve care of COPD patients. Remote patient monitoring (RPM), also called telemonitoring, is a method of healthcare delivery that gathers patient data outside of traditional healthcare settings. The COVID-19 pandemic has moved telemedicine to the forefront of care, accelerating the need to study remote monitoring in COPD patients. RPM tools including home spirometry, pulse oximetry and daily questionnaires have been shown to have potential to detect AECOPD earlier and improve patient-reported outcomes in COPD. Given the older age and numerous comorbid conditions of many COPD patients, it remains unclear if RPM interventions are feasible and acceptable by this patient population. To address this, we conducted a 12-week pilot study of a novel in-home telemonitoring system, consisting of three components: home spirometer, Bluetooth®-enabled home pulse oximeter, and tablet-based data collection system with avatar-assisted technology with the goal of determining impact on COPD Assessment Test (CAT) score and adherence to device measurements. The study was designed to be conducted entirely remotely given the Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic.
