Summary

The study plans to monitor around 300 people from different hospitals with COPD for a period of 3 months after they are discharged from the hospital using a smartphone app and a Fitbit device. This device can passively track certain health metrics; this way the research team can research whether it is possible to identify the early warning signs of a decline in health by using these ongoing measurements of vital signs and symptoms. This could allow doctors to intervene early and potentially prevent further deterioration in health decline and hospital admission altogether. The study seeks to investigate how similar these physiological measurements are when collected in the real world rather than just in the hospital setting, and what influence environmental factors have on a patient's health and experience of their condition.
