Predicting COPD flare-ups after hospital discharge
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have been diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- You have had at least two COPD flare-ups in the past year that needed treatment with inhalers, antibiotics, or steroids
- You are enrolling at the time you leave the hospital (not from the emergency room)
- You do not have a neuromuscular disease or seizures, and you are not in hospice care
- You live less than 60 miles from the study center and do not plan to travel out of state or to a place without internet in the next 30 days

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 whether a wearable device and a smartphone app can predict when your COPD will flare up. It uses AI to spot early warning signs, so you might get help sooner.
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 home monitoring device designed to catch COPD flare-ups (exacerbations) before they become severe. If you have had recent flare-ups, this device might help you stay healthier by alerting your doctor to problems early.
This study uses information from past hospital discharge records and breathing test results to predict who with COPD may have worse health outcomes later. It may help future COPD care by identifying higher-risk patients earlier.
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.
