NCT ID NCT06077994
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding a digital remote monitoring system to a standard pulmonary rehabilitation program helps people with COPD. 78 participants either received the enhanced program with daily vital sign tracking or the standard program alone. The main goal was to see if the approach was practical and acceptable, not yet to prove it works.
