Using mindfulness coaching to help people move more
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies a program that uses mindfulness coaching to help people with chronic lung disease (COPD) and/or heart failure (HF) be more physically active. You may benefit if you can safely start exercising and track your steps using a Fitbit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have COPD or heart failure (HF)—or both—diagnosed by your clinician
- You have been told by your healthcare provider that you are cleared to do an exercise program
- You can use email and a smartphone/tablet/computer that supports the Fitbit app
- You have NOT had a COPD or HF worsening/flare-up in the past month
- You can walk/ambulate (you are able to move around)
- You can collect at least 7 out of 14 days of step-count data before the program starts
- You are NOT already in a cardiac or pulmonary rehabilitation program
