Home monitoring for COPD flare-ups after hospital discharge
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 80 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with COPD and your lung function shows airflow blockage.
- You were in the hospital for a COPD flare-up and are being discharged within 48 hours, or have seen a lung doctor within 14 days after leaving the hospital.
- You are a current or former smoker (have smoked at least 100 cigarettes in your life).
- You own a smartphone and can follow instructions to use a small sensor on your chest.
- You can attend follow-up visits or telehealth appointments as needed.

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 a software program that uses machine learning to predict if you might have a COPD flare-up or get worse within 60 days after leaving the hospital. The goal is to help doctors provide better follow-up care and reduce emergency visits.
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 a non-contact, at-a-distance monitoring system to help detect COPD flare-ups early. If you’ve had flare-ups before, it may help track changes sooner and support better care decisions.
This trial tests whether a breathing and exercise program done at home can lower COPD flare-ups and the chance of needing hospital care. It may help people with more severe COPD manage breathlessness and stay stable.
