Detailed description

The Healthy at Home project is a pilot program aimed at improving care for patients who have COPD. This pilot aims to establish how self-management using a digital application, mobile health services, and support from a wellness coach can help achieve this goal. Participation in this study involves participants downloading a smartphone app, answering questionnaires, and wearing a Fitbit everyday, including during sleep throughout the 6-month study period. The investigators will ask that participants share their medical records and healthcare visit information through the secure study app, to help better understand how to treat patients with chronic health conditions. Participants will additionally have the option to enroll in Wellinks, a program that helps patients manage their breathing and COPD symptoms and provides patients with at-home medical equipment, one-on-one personalized virtual support from specially trained clinicians and coaches, and a separate easy-to-use app for tracking and communication.
