Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this observational study is to determine if a COPD exacerbation can be detected early in its onset. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Can an exacerbation be detected before the person recognizes they are unwell?
- What are the biological signals which provide the best indication of decompensation?
- How does this indication of decompensation compare to a daily CAT?
Participants will be asked to place a device, DistaSense, on top of their mattress and then sleep as normal. In addition, they will be asked to complete a daily CAT.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Understand the patient acceptance of DistaSense
Time Frame: 12 months
To evaluate the patient acceptance of using DistaSense, a non-contact vital sign monitor that measures heart rate and respiration rate, we will be requesting patients complete a Technology Assessment Model Fast Form (TAM-FF) every 3 months during the 12 month trial period.
Track the adherence of DistaSense
Time Frame: 12 months
To evaluate the adherence of patients using DistaSense, a non-contact vital sign monitor that measures heart rate and respiration rate, we will be tracking the patient dropout rate over the course of the 12 month study period.
Ability to detect COPD exacerbations
Time Frame: 3 - 12 months
To evaluate the ability of a non-contact remote monitoring techniques to detect exacerbations of COPD.
