Connected Solutions for Improved Health and Wellbeing in COPD

March 1, 2015

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive and debilitating disorder, which, as it progresses, places a significant burden on individuals and those caring for them. This is not only in terms of dealing with the condition itself but also in adhering to disease and treatment self-management programmes, which are integral to promoting better outcomes, both clinically and psychologically, for these individuals. In addition to improving individual outcomes, there are significant implications for broader healthcare systems in terms of reducing the number of hospital admissions and downstream costs of care.
