Smartphone app to help people with lung disease manage their health

This trial is testing a smartphone app called 3S-C that helps people with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) manage their condition through motivational sessions, personalized messaging support, and a mutual support community. Half of the participants will use this new smartphone app over 12 months, while the other half will receive general health information instead. The study wants to see if this app helps people breathe easier, feel better, and stay healthier.

COPD is a serious lung condition that gets worse over time and significantly reduces quality of life. Many patients struggle to manage their illness day-to-day and end up in the hospital frequently. This study aims to discover whether this smartphone-based program can give patients the tools, motivation, and ongoing support they need to manage their condition at home and avoid hospital visits.
