54 NIV naive COPD patients will be randomized to either telemonitoring care with a data-based intervention scheme or standard care according to the guideline of the German Society of Pneumology.
Primary objective:
Adherence to ventilation in the intervention group versus control group.
Secondary objective:
Comparisons between the control and intervention groups, over time and against each other, in terms of:
* Health-related quality of life assessed by SGRQ
* Symptomatology based on blood gas analyses, CAT score, mMRC score and S3-NIV score
* Therapy quality according to therapy parameters from device data
* Number of hospitalizations and physician visits
* Evaluation of the impact of feedback and interventions on therapy adherence, symptomatology and therapy data.
