Study Overview
Brief Summary
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the leading and rising causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The most important etiopathogenetic agent is smoking. However, air-pollution probably also plays a crucial role in the disease development, progression and exacerbations. The multimodal-telemedicine approach may provide a useful tool in the patient follow-up with the aim to reduce disease exacerbation rate and improve the health-related quality of life. The study aims to investigate the effects and utility of advanced telemonitoring in elderly COPD patients. All data will be integrated in a single web-based platform in order to analyse the mutual effects of different conditions and variables.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Telemetric spirometry - FVC
Time Frame: 3 month
Evaluation of telemetric measurement of FVC in home enviroment in COPD patients wih use of mobile spirometer
Telemetric spirometry - PEF
Time Frame: 3 month
Evaluation of telemetric measurement of PEF in home enviroment in COPD patients wih use of mobile spirometer
Telemetric spirometry - FEV1%
Time Frame: 3 month
Evaluation of telemetric measurement of FEV1% in home enviroment in COPD patients wih use of mobile spirometer
Telemetric spirometry - FEV1%/FVC ratio
Time Frame: 3 month
Evaluation of telemetric measurement of FEV1%/FVC ratio in home enviroment in COPD patients wih use of mobile spirometer
Blood oxygen saturation monitoring
Time Frame: 3 month
Continuous measurement of blood oxygen saturation in the study group.
Particulate matter concentration monitoring
Time Frame: 3 month
Continuous measurement of both indoor and outdoor air-pollution levels via monitoring of selected parameters (PM1.0, PM2.5, PM4.0, PM10). and some other selected environmental parameters (humidity and temperature) - as well in both outdoor and indoor conditions.
Environmental monitoring
Time Frame: 3 month
Continuous measurement of selected environmental parameters (humidity and temperature) - in both outdoor and indoor conditions.
Adherence monitoring - rate of inhalations per day
Time Frame: 3 month
The regular monitoring of the patients' adherence to the inhaled therapy, using FindAir smart inhaler technology. Rate of inhalations per day is measured via special cap mounted on the top of the inhaler which is detecting each activation while pressing the cap. Result is being compared with the amount of inhalations recommended by the physician.
Adherence monitoring - time of inhalation deviation
Time Frame: 3 month
The regular monitoring of the patients' adherence to the inhaled therapy, using FindAir smart inhaler technology. A specific time of inhalation is being recorded by a special cap mounted on the top of the inhaler which is detecting each activation while pressing the cap. Deviation between recommended time of inhalation and real time of inhalation is being monitored through the study.
