Summary

This trial is comparing the effectiveness of two types of pulmonary rehabilitation programs.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals over 40 years old who have been hospitalized due to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and are eligible for Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR). Participants must feel confident (scoring above a 5 on a self-efficacy scale of 1-10) about using the system daily. Those unable to walk due to orthopedic-neurologic issues or being bedridden cannot join.

What is being tested?

The study compares two approaches: home-based PR with new technology and health coaching, versus traditional referral to center-based PR which may also offer telehealth options. The goal is to see which method better encourages patients to stick with their rehabilitation after leaving the hospital.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this intervention involves exercise and health coaching rather than medication, side effects might include muscle soreness or fatigue from physical activity. However, specific side effects will depend on individual health conditions.
