Effectiveness of the Telemonitoring Program for Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

The primary objective of the intervention is to optimize disease management and reduce the need for hospital-based healthcare resources. * Personalized Patient Monitoring: The telemonitoring system enables continuous, individualized follow-up, supporting proactive disease management and timely clinical decision-making. * Early Detection of Exacerbations: The HCAlert system continuously monitors physiological parameters, including heart rate, oxygen saturation (SpO₂), and blood pressure, and uses a triage algorithm to generate clinical alerts. This remote monitoring approach facilitates the early identification of clinical deterioration, allowing timely intervention before the patient's condition worsens, thereby potentially improving clinical outcomes. * Reduction in Healthcare Resource Utilization: Early clinical intervention is expected to reduce the rate of COPD-related hospitalizations, the number of COPD-related hospital days, and the frequency of COPD exacerbations. These improvements may translate into reduced healthcare resource utilization and lower healthcare costs. * Improved Quality of Life: By enabling patients to receive continuous monitoring and clinical support while remaining at home, telemonitoring may improve overall quality of life, increase patient reassurance, and promote better adherence to prescribed treatment plans.
