Quality-of-Life Management for COPD Patients
- Conditions
- CopdChronic Respiratory Disease
- Registration Number
- NCT04373070
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Zurich
- Brief Summary
The investigators aim to investigate the effects of a telemonitoring and chatbot-based application of "Living well with COPD" (CAir) on health-related quality-of-life in patients with COPD.
- Detailed Description
The disease management programme "Living well with COPD" was developed to relieve symptoms and prevent exacerbations. It covers a disease self-management approach, educational topics, lifestyle coaching and physical activity advice.
Future implications should aim to make the intervention easily accessible for a broad spectrum of patients at scalable costs. Patients need an engaging communication platform which can inform, coach and even listen in between medical visits. The inclusion of a chatbot agent may provide this tailored feedback. The investogator's aim is to investigate the effects of a telemonitoring and chatbot-based application of "Living well with COPD" on health-related quality-of-life in patients with COPD.
