Can video calls help patients breathe easier? new study tests remote coaching for scarred lungs

This study is testing whether a remote coaching program using video calls can help people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) better manage their own care. It aims to see if this approach improves how patients monitor their symptoms, follow their treatment, and handle flare-ups, which could lead to fewer hospital visits and a better quality of life. The program is designed for adults who have had an IPF diagnosis for at least a year and have the technology to participate from home.
