Smartphone app aims to predict and prevent COPD attacks using weather data
NCT ID NCT07656142
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a personalized mobile app that gives temperature-related health warnings and safety tips can reduce acute exacerbations (sudden worsening of symptoms) in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). About 240 participants will either receive the app plus usual care or usual care alone. The main goal is to see if the app lowers the number of COPD flare-ups over one year.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
personalized mobile application with temperature-related health risk warnings
What this could lead to
If effective, this app could help people with COPD avoid acute exacerbations triggered by temperature changes, improving daily life and reducing hospital visits.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small trial testing a behavioral intervention, not a drug. Results may vary based on user engagement, and the app may not work for everyone or in all climates.
