Effectiveness of the Telemonitoring Program for Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Sponsor: Hope Care, S.A
Summary
Telemonitoring systems have already demonstrated their ability to improve clinical follow-up and reduce healthcare resource utilization in patients with chronic respiratory failure treated with non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and/or long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT). In this severely ill population, telemonitoring enables earlier detection of clinical deteriorations, optimization of therapeutic interventions, and a reduction in unplanned hospitalizations. Building on these findings, we hypothesize that similar benefits could be achieved in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who are at risk of exacerbations, regardless of their clinical severity (GOLD ABE classification). The implementation of a structured telemonitoring program in this population could therefore help reduce the severity of exacerbations and, ultimately, decrease overall healthcare resource utilization.
