NCT ID NCT06751537
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a wearable system called WearME to see if it can accurately measure lung function and breathing in people with COPD. Researchers will compare the device's readings to standard hospital tests like spirometry. The goal is to find a simpler way for patients to track their condition at home. The study involves 128 adults with mild to severe COPD.
