description | BACKGROUND: Several technological advances and digital solutions have been proposed in the recent years to face the emerging need for tele-monitoring older adults with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). However, several challenges have negatively influenced an evidence-based approach to improve Health-Related Quality of Life (HR-QoL) in these patients. AIM: To assess the effects of tele-monitoring devices on HR-QoL in older adults with COPD. METHODS: On November 11, 2022, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane were systematically searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) consistent with the following PICO model: older people with COPD as participants, tele-monitoring devices as intervention, any comparator, and HR-QoL as the primary outcome. Functional outcomes, sanitary costs, safety, and feasibility were considered secondary outcomes. The quality assessment was performed in accordance with the Jadad scale. RESULTS: A total of 1845 records were identified and screened for eligibility. As a result, 5 RCTs assessing 584 patients (423 males and 161 females) were included in the systematic review. Tele-monitoring devices were ASTRI telecare system, WeChat social media, Pedometer, SweetAge monitoring system, and CHROMED monitoring platform. No significant improvements in terms of HR-QoL were reported in the included studies. However, positive effects were shown in terms of the number of respiratory events and hospitalization in patients telemonitored by SweetAge system and CHROMED platform. DISCUSSION: Although a little evidence supports the role of tele-monitoring devices in improving HR-QoL in older patients, positive effects were reported in COPD exacerbation consequences and functional outcomes. CONCLUSION: Tele-monitoring solutions might be considered as sustainable strategies to implement HR-QoL in the long-term management of older patients with COPD.
