Non-contact Proactive Remote Monitoring of COPD Exacerbations

Condition(s) studied

Study 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.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Track the adherence of DistaSense — 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.
• Understand the patient acceptance of DistaSense — 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.
• Ability to detect COPD exacerbations — 3 - 12 months
  To evaluate the ability of a non-contact remote monitoring techniques to detect exacerbations of COPD.
