Summary

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a pharmacist-led interactive mobile health intervention (serious game) in adults aged 50 years and older with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The study will test whether the intervention improves health status compared with usual care. Secondary outcomes include inhaler technique, medication adherence, health knowledge, dyspnea, clinical events, healthcare utilization, and costs. Participants in the intervention group will receive pharmacist guidance and use the serious game at home for 2 weeks.

Detailed description

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive respiratory disease that requires long-term self-management to control symptoms and prevent exacerbations. However, many patients experience difficulties in maintaining proper inhaler technique, adhering to medication, and recognizing early signs of exacerbation. Digital health interventions may provide additional support to improve patients' knowledge and self-management behaviors. This study evaluates a pharmacist-led interactive mobile health intervention delivered through a serious game designed to support COPD self-management. The intervention includes educational content, inhaler technique training, medication reminders, and guidance on exacerbation prevention and management. Participants will receive pharmacist guidance on how to use the application and will be asked to play the game at home for two weeks. The study is designed as a pilot randomized controlled trial comparing the serious game intervention with usual care in adults aged 50 years and older with COPD. The trial will assess whether the intervention can improve patients' self-management and health outcomes.
