NCT ID NCT05655832
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a wearable device (Vivalink) could track health signs like heart rate, breathing, and activity in people with COPD. 77 participants wore the device for 3 months to see if the data could predict when symptoms would get worse. The goal was to find a way to monitor COPD at home and catch flare-ups early.
