Summary

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a worldwide common disease with high morbidity and mortality and leads to heavy social and economic burden. Health management of stable COPD patients has been suggested to be essential for delaying diseases progress, reducing acute exacerbation events and improving patient quality of life. Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is a widely used treatment in COPD patients. There were studies shown that NIV could improve ventilation, blood gases etc., and several clinical trials have shown improvements in survival, exercise capacity, quality of life and so on. Compliance to NIV and optimal parameter setting are important factors that will affect the effect of the use of NIV, thus NIV usage monitoring might also be a crucial element in the health management of COPD patients. Many studies have been designed to study the effect of tele-monitoring program on the management of COPD patients. However, almost none of these studies were designed for specific population, and little is known about the effect of such program on the management of patients with NIV treatment.

Detailed description

The COPD home management program consists of 3 Philips devices (NIV BiPAP ST, Oximeter and Blood Pressure Meter), a patient mobile APP which is developed for self-management at home and a professional physician web portal which is designed for NIV usage and other vital sign data monitoring. The program is intended to manage the post-discharge COPD patient by enhancing COPD patient condition monitoring and adherence to the home therapy, e.g. NIV in this study. Besides obtaining clinical proof points of the efficacy of such program on patients with NIV treatment, it will provide potential evidence of the usability as well as the collect the insights for future product improvement.

Conditions

• COPD
• Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	NIV with the integrated tele-monitoring management program	Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation with the integrated tele-monitoring management will provide regular health report, and once an alert is generated due to the abnormality in NIV usage or vital sign data etc., physicians will take action accordingly.
