Home Pulmonary Rehabilitation for COPD

Overview

About this study

While pulmonary rehabilitation provides benefits to people with COPD, only 1.5% have access to pulmonary rehabilitation each year. The main barriers are related to travel and transportation. This protocol will evaluate the effect of a home-based rehabilitation system on quality of life and steps. The system allows for monitoring by a health care system. A health coach will review the data and provide coaching to facilitate behavioral change and self-efficacy. Patients will be randomized to 1 of 2 groups.
