Virtual COPD care study to prevent heart and lung emergencies
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests if a virtual care program for people with COPD can reduce serious heart and lung events. If you've had a severe COPD flare-up in the past year, this program might help you manage your condition from home.

This study tests a virtual program called 'My Lung Health Coach' that helps people with COPD manage their condition through an app connected to their health record. The goal is to see if this self-management program can improve your breathing, reduce flare-ups, and help you feel more in control of your health.
This study tests a home-based program that provides education and activity guidance for people with COPD who have been hospitalized in the past year. It aims to help you understand your condition better and stay active safely.
This study tests whether a telehealth (video/phone) education program can help people with COPD better manage their health after a hospital flare-up. It may reduce the chance of needing to return to the hospital soon after discharge.
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 studies a coordinated (multidisciplinary) care program for people with severe COPD who were recently hospitalized for worsening breathing symptoms. It may help reduce future flare-ups and improve day-to-day breathing by coordinating multiple types of care in a COPD center.
This study tests a virtual (online) pulmonary rehabilitation program for people with COPD. If you join, you will participate in exercises and education from home, with remote support from the study team.
