Remote patient monitoring strategies and wearable technology in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is highly prevalent and is associated with a heavy burden on patients and health systems alike. Exacerbations of COPD (ECOPDs) are a leading cause of acute hospitalization among all adult chronic diseases. There is currently a paradigm shift in the way th...

description | Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is highly prevalent and is associated with a heavy burden on patients and health systems alike. Exacerbations of COPD (ECOPDs) are a leading cause of acute hospitalization among all adult chronic diseases. There is currently a paradigm shift in the way that ECOPDs are conceptualized. For the first time, objective physiological parameters are being used to define/classify what an ECOPD is (including heart rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation criteria) and therefore a mechanism to monitor and measure their changes, particularly in an outpatient ambulatory setting, are now of great value. In addition to pre-existing challenges on traditional ‘in-person’ health models such as geography and seasonal (ex. winter) impacts on the ability to deliver in-person visit-based care, the COVID-19 pandemic imposed additional stressors including lockdowns, social distancing, and the closure of pulmonary function labs. These health system stressors, combined with the new conceptualization of ECOPDs, rapid advances in sophistication of hardware and software, and a general openness by stakeholders to embrace this technology, have all influenced the propulsion of remote patient monitoring (RPM) and wearable technology in the modern care of COPD. The present article reviews the use of RPM and wearable technology in COPD. Context on the influences, factors and forces which have helped shape this health system innovation is provided. A focused summary of the literature of RPM in COPD is presented. Finally, the practical and ethical principles which must guide the transition of RPM in COPD into real-world clinical use are reviewed. |
