Brief Summary

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

TARA is a Digital Behaviour Change Intervention (DBCI) for Individuals with COPD (IwCOPD), which has been designed using a Human-Centred Design (HCD) methodology. HCD involves, among other elements, members of the target audience in evaluations at multiple stages within the design process.

This feasibility study is primarily designed to assess the acceptability of the DBCI test asset to the target audience. Acceptability as defined for the purpose of this study includes usability of the system, and perceived value and desirability to the end-user audience. As such, engagement in this context is deemed to mean the degree to which the test asset provides a usable, acceptable, desirable and valuable experience to its users during a time-limited trial.

* Participants must be willing to use a smart watch and be willing to complete all data collection requirements (within TARA plus phone interview plus on-line questionnaires)
* Patients must confirm that their treating physician has been informed about their participation in the study (prior to TARA log-in)
* Fluency in written English

Exclusion Criteria

* Patients with asthma
* Patient with a worsening COPD episode requiring medical intervention within 4 weeks of enrolment
* Patients who have completed a pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) program in the 6 months prior to enrolment or patients who are currently in a PR program (rationale: PR programs typically include a self-management component which may interfere with study objectives)
* Planned vacation period during the study period that requires overnight stays away from home
* Major surgery performed within 6 weeks prior to enrolment or planned within 2 months after enrolment, e.g. hip replacement
