This study is testing a non-contact monitoring device called DistaSense that sits on top of your mattress while you sleep. Researchers want to see if this device can detect early signs that your COPD is getting worse — before you even notice symptoms — by measuring changes in your body during sleep.
Many people with COPD don't realize their lungs are getting worse until they're very sick and need emergency care. This study aims to catch those warning signs earlier so you can get treatment sooner and avoid serious flare-ups.

You'll be asked to place a small device on top of your mattress and sleep normally each night — the device works silently in the background. You'll also complete a short daily questionnaire about how you're feeling. The study follows two groups: people with stable COPD at home, and people who have just been discharged from the hospital after a lung flare-up. There are no hospital visits required; everything happens at home.
