Summary

This study examines the feasibility and acceptability of using mobile applications and biosensing (mHealth) devices in detecting vitality parameters in current smokers with and without respiratory symptoms/COPD (e.g., heart rate, blood oxygenation, steps/motion) for a future big-scale study.

Detailed description

The study is designed to investigate feasibility of using mHealth devices to improve the treatment, assessment, compliance, and outcomes in smokers with and without respiratory symptoms/COPD. The study aims to reveal and address the anticipated barriers to the acceptance and implementation of mHealth devices in this patient population and clinical setting. As is well documented, the more attention patients receive from medical personnel, the better their clinical outcomes. Here we are attempting to use device-driven monitoring applications, interactive reminders, and teaching modules to deliver a constant positive feedback loop to patients to improve their health decisions. Objectives of the study: To assess the feasibility of using mHealth devices in current smokers with and without respiratory symptoms/COPD. To assess the utility (i.e., validity and reproducibility) of mHealth devices in detecting vitality parameters in current smokers with and without respiratory symptoms/COPD (e.g., heart rate; blood oxygenation; steps/motion; FEV1, FVC, and their ratio; peak expiratory flow \[PEF\]).
