Home monitoring after COPD flare-up
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if people with COPD can use a home monitoring system after a flare-up to help doctors track their recovery. It aims to reduce hospital visits and improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 90 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with COPD and are currently in the hospital for a flare-up (exacerbation).
- At the start of the hospital stay, your blood oxygen level was low (below 60 mmHg without extra oxygen, or below 55 mmHg with your usual oxygen).
- At discharge, your blood oxygen level has improved to above 60 mmHg (with or without oxygen).
- You can understand and sign the consent form.

This study tests a wearable device that listens to your breathing at home. It may help detect early signs of a COPD flare-up so you can get care sooner. You can join if you have moderate to severe COPD and recently left the hospital for a flare-up.
This study tests a software algorithm that uses your health data to predict if you might have a COPD exacerbation (flare-up) within 60 days after leaving the hospital. The goal is to catch problems early and help you stay healthier.
This study tests whether wearable medical devices can help monitor your COPD symptoms at home. You will use a smartphone app and a small chest patch to track your breathing, which may help you and your doctor better manage your condition.
This study tests if a wearable device can help track your COPD symptoms between doctor visits. You'll use a smartphone or computer to share data, which may help your care team stay on top of your health.
This study tests whether a home high-flow nasal breathing device (myAirvo 3) helps people with COPD who recently needed hospital care for a flare-up. You would use the device at home and track symptoms, oxygen levels, and heart rate daily to see how well it works.
This trial tests a remote monitoring system (BoraCare®) for people with COPD. It uses a wearable device and an early warning score to detect flare-ups early, so you can get faster care and avoid hospital stays.
