Tele-rehabilitation in Chronic Respiratory Disease: an Observational Cohort Study

Recruiting

• Conditions: Chronic Respiratory Disease

• Registration Number: NCT05820776
• Lead Sponsor: West Park Healthcare Centre

Brief Summary

Pulmonary rehabilitation is a program that helps people with lung disease improve their function. It uses exercise, education, and self-management strategies to improve physical ability and quality of life. Because some people are unable to visit West Park Healthcare Centre, we established a remote supervised pulmonary rehabilitation program that patients can access via an electronic device (computer, tablet or smart phone). Regular quality assurance is necessary to ensure that the program is effective. We plan to collect and summarize the program's results. The benefit of doing so is that it allows us to make any changes or improvements that may help patients with chronic respiratory conditions.
