Testing a wearable device for COPD severity
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a wearable device (WearME) that tracks your breathing and activity to see how well it can measure COPD severity. It may help you and your doctor better understand your lung function at home.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 21 to 100 years old and can read and sign forms in English or Spanish.
- You have been diagnosed with COPD (chronic lung disease) by a doctor.
- You can be a current, former, or never smoker – any smoking history is okay.
- You do not have skin allergies or skin problems that could be bothered by a small wearable device.
- You are not currently using a breathing machine (ventilator) through a tube.

This study tests a wearable patch that tracks your health remotely. If you have COPD, you may help researchers see if the patch works well for daily use at home.
This study tests whether using a wearable device (like a sensor or smartwatch) can help doctors check on COPD patients while they are in the hospital for a bad flare-up. The goal is to see if remote monitoring can make care better and help you get home sooner.
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 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 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 trial tests a portable “positive pressure” breathing device in people with severe COPD to see how well it works and whether it’s safe. It may help if you have trouble breathing and meet the device and health requirements.
