Remote check-ins vs routine care for COPD with home breathing machine
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares remote video check-ins with usual care for people with COPD who use a home breathing machine. It aims to see if remote monitoring can improve health and reduce hospital visits.
