Development of a Virtual Home-Based Cycling Intervention for Individuals With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Qualitative Study

Development of a Virtual Home-Based Cycling Intervention for Individuals With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Qualitative Study

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the most common lung disease worldwide, affecting over 292 million people, and ranking as the third leading cause of death globally [1]. Admissions due to exacerbations of COPD are frequent, and readmissions are concerning, as a large group of individuals experience recurrent hospitalizations [2].

An mHealth App and System Architecture for Respiratory Disease Management: Design Principles, Tool Development, and Pilot Usability Study

An mHealth App and System Architecture for Respiratory Disease Management: Design Principles, Tool Development, and Pilot Usability Study

Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) each affect approximately 330 million people worldwide, representing major public health challenges with substantial health and economic burdens [1,2]. Self-management interventions are key to mitigate the risk of symptom exacerbations in patients with asthma and COPD from escalating into life-threatening emergencies.

Bidirectional Associations Between Physical Activity, Sedentary Behavior, and Daily Symptoms in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Longitudinal Observational Study

Bidirectional Associations Between Physical Activity, Sedentary Behavior, and Daily Symptoms in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Longitudinal Observational Study

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous chronic lung condition characterized by shortness of breath, cough, and/or sputum production. This is, at least partly, due to abnormalities of the airways or alveoli that cause persistent airflow obstruction [1]. The heterogeneity of COPD manifests in variations in disease progression, symptom burden, and response to interventions, requiring personalized care [2].

Automated Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Phenotyping and Control Assessment in Primary Care: Retrospective Multicenter Study Using the Seleida Model

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains a major global health challenge, with more than 3.2 million deaths annually and more than 390 million people affected worldwide [1,2].

Smartphone App–Guided Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Chronic Respiratory Diseases: Randomized Controlled Trial

Smartphone App–Guided Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Chronic Respiratory Diseases: Randomized Controlled Trial

In 2019, chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD), lung cancer, and lower respiratory infections ranked among the top 10 leading causes of disability-adjusted life years for adults aged 50 years and older [1]. Individuals with chronic respiratory diseases experience various clinical deteriorations, including poor quality of life and reduced exercise capacity [3,4].

Effectiveness of m-Learning in Enhancing Knowledge Retention for Nurses’ Lifelong Learning: Quasi-Experimental Study

Moreover, MOOCs can contribute to developing nurses’ skills, specifically in training for self-management of noncommunicable chronic diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). MOOCs are based on the definition of various concepts such as e-learning, mass communication, knowledge sharing, and openness [17]. MOOCs comprise quality content and aim at a large target audience, overcoming many of the in-class barriers [9].

In addition, HRVs are implicated in the development of lower respiratory tract diseases, such as pneumonia, bronchitis, and bronchiolitis [1], as well as in the exacerbation of asthma [3] and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) [4]. The susceptibility to severe HRV infections and reinfections is influenced by a range of environmental and genetic factors, including impaired interferon responses and pre-existing conditions namely asthma and COPD [5].

Evaluation of a Novel eHealth Tool for Pulmonary Rehabilitation in People With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Randomized Controlled Pilot and Feasibility Trial

Evaluation of a Novel eHealth Tool for Pulmonary Rehabilitation in People With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Randomized Controlled Pilot and Feasibility Trial

This was emphasized in the study by Cox and Holland [27] who concluded that one size does not fit all, and more research is needed on different models of telerehabilitation in people with COPD to reach evidence-based consensus and increase possibilities for individualization [16,28]. To promote health, provide individualized treatment, and increase access to evidence-based treatment for people with COPD in Sweden, we developed an e Health tool for PR, Me&COPD (Swedish: Min KOL).

Patients’ and Health Care Professionals’ Perspectives on Remote Patient Monitoring in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Exacerbation Management: Initiating Cocreation

Patients’ and Health Care Professionals’ Perspectives on Remote Patient Monitoring in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Exacerbation Management: Initiating Cocreation

This study aimed to thoroughly explore perspectives on COPD care processes, exacerbation management, and RPM in the Netherlands through following 3 objectives: (1) identify stakeholders involved in COPD exacerbation care, (2) understand existing COPD care with an explicit focus on exacerbations, and (3) explore stakeholder experiences and expectations regarding RPM in COPD care.

Effect of Gamification on Improved Adherence to Inhaled Medications in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Randomized Controlled Trial

Effect of Gamification on Improved Adherence to Inhaled Medications in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Randomized Controlled Trial

Airway obstruction or stenosis, cough, dyspnea, and poor respiratory coordination make it difficult for patients with COPD to use inhalers properly [10]. A systematic evaluation of 144 inhaler technique observation reports indicates that only 31% (95% CI 28%-35%) of patients with COPD demonstrated the best inhaler technique in the past 4 decades [11].
