AI could spot COPD trouble early from home ventilator data
NCT ID NCT07267104
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at people with COPD who use a home breathing machine called non-invasive ventilation (NIV). Researchers will use artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze breathing data from the machine, such as airflow and pressure, to find early signs of a flare-up. The study does not change treatment—it only uses data already recorded. The goal is to create a tool that helps patients and doctors manage home NIV more safely.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a tool that helps doctors spot early warning signs of COPD flare-ups, potentially reducing hospital visits.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage observational study with only 75 participants. The AI tool may not work as expected or may not apply to all COPD patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age between 40 and 80 years. * COPD diagnosed by pulmonary function tests. * Home NIV therapy with good adherence (minimum daily compliance \> 5 hours) for at least 6 months. * Users of the ResMed LUMIS 150 ventilator. This is due to the presence of the decoding tool and a larger storage capacity (more than 100 nights) in the removable device of the ventilator. * Acute exacerbation requiring hospital admission or home care. Exclusion Criteria: * Lack of informed consent. * Previous clinical instability defined by the need for antibiotics and/or systemic corticosteroids in the two months prior to the inclusion exacerbation, excluding the 48 hours prior to admission, as this was considered part of the inclusion clinical picture.
