Testing a digital coaching program to help people manage COPD at home

This trial is testing a new way to help people with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) manage their condition using a digital platform combined with guided coaching from nurses. Half of the primary care clinics will offer this new digital coaching program, while the other half will continue with regular care. The study wants to see if this approach helps people with COPD feel better and manage their symptoms more effectively at home.

COPD is a serious lung disease that makes it hard for people to breathe and significantly affects their daily life and quality of life. Researchers believe that helping people take a more active role in managing their own health—using digital tools and personalized coaching—could improve outcomes and reduce the burden on healthcare systems.
