Digital Therapy in Self-management of COPD Patients

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Full process digital therapy intervention package: Patients will receive individualized inhalation skills guidance after being tested by inhalation capacity measuring device, and be equipped with electronic inhalation monitoring devices, which can record their medication using data, reminding patients to use the medication on time, and correct their inhalation mistake. They can also check their inhalation record on their mobile phones. Clinicians can check the record every month to assess their adherence.
