Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention group

Intervention group subjects will use NIV with the integrated tele-monitoring management program as home therapy and accomplish the following tasks via mobile COPD Butler APP: 1) upload daily NIV usage data, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and heart rate measurement; 2) daily medication taken recording; 3) regular self-reported health questionnaire and symptom recording; 4) read health education materials.

Information collected from the intervention group by the APP will be monitored by physician team from the leading hospital through physician web portal. The physician team 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.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

NIV with the integrated tele-monitoring management program

Intervention Type DEVICE

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.

Control group

Control group subjects will only use NIV according to their treatment plan at home. NIV usage data will be read from the NIV secure digital memory card for the control group.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
