Brief Summary

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

This study is aimed to collect real-time physiological data using two wearable devices (a biometric ring and a biometric wristband), daily lung mechanical measurements by a handheld oscillometer, and participant-reported symptoms in patients with COPD remotely from their home environment. The data will be used to train and validate artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) models to predict COPD exacerbations in advance of their actual occurrence. The data will also be used to test the new severity classification system for exacerbations of COPD, as well as to determine important relationships between physiological measurements from the wearable devices, the handheld oscillometer, the self-reported symptoms, and the tests performed at the baseline visit.

Detailed Description

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

A single-site, prospective, observational cohort study to collect high-quality multidimensional data from the wearable/portable devices, as well as symptom and exacerbation data, in high-risk patients with frequent exacerbations in order to develop a COPD exacerbation predictive model.

Biometric wearable and handheld devices

In this study, participants will be equipped with biometric wearable devices, i.e. ring and wristband, as well as with a handheld oscillometer, to measure their physiological parameters and lung mechanical changes (lung function).
