Study summary

This is an observational pilot study focused on collecting data on clinical variables that can improve the understanding of potential predictors of disease exacerbation and readmissions in COPD patients. The study aim is to understand how the variability of clinical parameters (respiratory rate, forced expiratory volume in one second, and oxygen saturation), physical activity and quality of life is associated with the risk of exacerbation in COPD patients.

Read the detailed description

The investigational product to be used in this trial is the ResMed Biomotion Sensor (ResMed Sensor Technologies, Dublin, Ireland). This device uses very low power radio waves (\~1/100th of the strength of a mobile phone signal) to detect respiratory movements of a person while asleep- without physical contact with the individual. The device is designed to measure up to 5 feet, so that only the person on the side of the bed nearest the device is monitored. Algorithms have been developed to analyze the respiratory movement signals and extract information about respiration rate, bodily movements, sleep/wake patterns and sleep disordered respiration.

Study population

Patients with COPD diagnosis

Inclusion criteria

  1. Medically stable and ambulatory COPD (primary diagnosis) patients who have had an emergency room visit or hospitalization for an acute exacerbation of COPD within the past 30 days.
  2. Sufficient understanding of the English language to be able to read and understand study procedures.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Currently on admission in the hospital, on non-invasive positive airway pressure ventilation
  2. Visual, hearing or cognitive impairments at the discretion of their physician.
  3. Currently participating in a COPD telemonitoring program.
  4. No AT\&T cellular coverage at their primary residence
  5. Any other medical or psychological condition that, in the opinion of the investigator may present an unreasonable risk to the study participant as a result of his/her participation in this study, may make participant's participation unreliable, or may interfere with study assessments.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Respiratory rate (breaths per minute)

    Collected by study device, Reassure Respiration Monitor. This device uses very low power radio waves to detect respiratory movements of a person while asleep.

    Time frame: Daily, 16 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Oxygen saturation (%)

    Collected via pulse oximeter.

    Time frame: Daily for 16 weeks

  2. Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1). FEV1 is the volume of air forcefully exhaled in 1 second.

    Collected via spirometer

    Time frame: Weekly for16 weeks

  3. Physical activity

    Collected via step counts

    Time frame: Daily for 16 weeks

  4. Body Mass Index (kg/m^2)

    Weight and height will be combined to report BMI

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 0) and Close-out (16 weeks)

  5. Quality of life

    Collected via SF-12 questionnaire

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 0) and Close-out (16 weeks)

  6. Depression

    Collected via PHQ-8 questionnaire

    Time frame: Monthly for 16 weeks

  7. Anxiety

    Collected via GAD-7 questionnaire

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 0) and Close-out (16 weeks)

  8. COPD symptom assessment

    Collected via CAT questionnaire

    Time frame: Weekly for 16 weeks

  9. Functional impairment due to dyspnea

    Collected via mMRC dyspnea scale

    Time frame: Weekly for 16 weeks

  10. Study device usability

    Collected via usability questionnaire

    Time frame: Close-out (16 week)

  11. Medical treatment

    Collected via electronic health record

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 0) and Close-out (16 weeks)

  12. Hospitalization records

    Collected via electronic health record

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 0) and Close-out (16 weeks)
