• Conditions: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

• Registration Number: NCT06085261
• Lead Sponsor: China-Japan Friendship Hospital

Brief Summary

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) patients could benefit from pulmonary rehabilitation(PR) in better managing of the disease and its symptoms and in avoiding future relapses and hospitalizations. However, due to a large number of drop outs from PR, lack of professionals, and the (Corona Virus Disease 2019) COVID-19 epidemic, the PR has been underutilized, leading to a need for investigation of updated forms. The study aims to investigate the effects of a home-based PR program using minimal accessories, facilitated with wearable activity trackers and smartphones.
