Summary
This study tests a 12-month telehealth program that combines healthy eating, exercise coaching, and remote pulmonary rehab for 400 overweight veterans with both COPD and obstructive sleep apnea. Participants use a Fitbit and app to track progress, with the goal of improving physical function and quality of life. The program is delivered entirely at home, making it accessible for those who cannot easily travel to a clinic.

What this could lead to
