Study of Remote Monitoring with BoraCare Solution for Patients with COPD and Frequent Exacerbations to Reduce Hospital Stays

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD who experience frequent exacerbations. The study aims to compare the effectiveness of remote monitoring using the Bora Care solution versus conventional follow-up care. The main goal is to see if remote monitoring reduces the total number of hospital days due to respiratory problems over one year. Participants are randomly assigned to either a control group or an experimental group. The control group receives conventional care, including two general practitioner visits and one pulmonologist visit per year. The experimental group receives the same conventional care plus the Bora Care remote monitoring system, which includes a wristband that measures vital signs at home, a platform for caregivers to view data, and an early detection score for COPD exacerbations. Nurses trained in the Bora Care system monitor patients daily, alert the pulmonologist if needed, and follow up on any alerts. During the study, participants will have clinical visits including a 12-month follow-up with a pulmonologist. Researchers will monitor hospitalizations, length of hospital stays, quality of life, device usage, care organization, and patient and caregiver satisfaction over one to three years. The study uses a randomized design without masking and will last until December 2027.
