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.
