Abstract

This article outlines the findings of a study that looked at the self-management needs of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients and the feasibility of an eHealth intervention. This study found that patient self-monitoring is sub-optimal. Patients want the technology to include record keeping, feedback, the integration of biomedical and environmental data, exacerbation detection, and the ability to connect with providers. Health leaders could benefit from this information by working with their suppliers to eliminate system and technology barriers, and ensuring that technology is interactive, personalized and easy to use.
