Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this multicenter, prospective cohort study is to investigate the correlation of real-world sensor-derived biometric data obtained via a wearable device with clinical parameters and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) for monitoring disease activity and predicting exacerbations for participants with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The cohort of participants with COPD will be followed for 3 months. A calibration cohort with non-COPD participants will be included and followed for 2 weeks.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

For participants with COPD:

* Participants ≥40 and ≤80 years at baseline
* Diagnosis of COPD stage II to IV
* History of moderate or severe exacerbations (≥2 moderate exacerbations or ≥1 severe exacerbations in any 12-month time window during last 3 years prior to inclusion and ≥1 moderate or severe exacerbations in the last 12 months prior to inclusion, considering that the last 12 months may reflect lower exacerbation rate due to Covid-19 measures)

For participants in the calibration cohort:

• Participants ≥40 and ≤80 years at baseline

Exclusion Criteria

For participants with COPD:

* Clinically relevant and/or serious concurrent medical conditions including, but not limited to visual problems, severe mental illness or cognitive impairment, musculoskeletal or movement disorders, cardiac disease (e.g., heart failure, arrythmia \[esp. atrial fibrillation and conduction blocks\]), lung cancer (currently treated) that in the opinion of the Investigator, would interfere with participant's ability to participate in the study or draw meaningful conclusions from the study
* Participants with a cardiac pacemaker, defibrillators, or other implanted electronic devices
* Participants with known allergies or sensitivity to silicon or hydrogel
* Less than 6 weeks since previous moderate/severe exacerbation

For participants in the calibration cohort:

* Participants with a cardiac pacemaker, defibrillators, or other implanted electronic devices
* Participants with known allergies or sensitivity to silicon or hydrogel
* Diagnosis of pulmonary disease including, but not limited to COPD, asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, with impact on the lung function and exercise capacity
