Home devices may spot lung flare-ups before they become emergencies

NCT ID NCT07673237

First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether people with fibrotic interstitial lung disease can use home monitoring devices—like a spirometer, pulse oximeter, and scale—to help detect serious lung events such as flare-ups or hospitalizations. About 200 participants will use these devices connected to a smartphone app. The goal is to see which combination of devices is most practical and acceptable for catching problems early.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

home monitoring devices (spirometer, pulse oximeter, wireless scale)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that remote monitoring is a practical way to catch serious lung flare-ups early, potentially improving care for people with interstitial lung disease.

What could go wrong

This is a feasibility study, not a treatment trial. It may find that home monitoring is not reliable enough or that patients struggle to use the devices consistently.
