Quality-of-Life Management for COPD Patients
Quality-of-Life Management for COPD Patients
The investigators aim to investigate the effects of a telemonitoring and chatbot-based
 application of "Living well with COPD" (CAir) on health-related quality-of-life in patients
 with COPD.
The disease management programme "Living well with COPD" was developed to relieve symptoms
 and prevent exacerbations. It covers a disease self-management approach, educational topics,
 lifestyle coaching and physical activity advice.

 Future implications should aim to make the intervention easily accessible for a broad
 spectrum of patients at scalable costs. Patients need an engaging communication platform
 which can inform, coach and even listen in between medical visits. The inclusion of a chatbot
 agent may provide this tailored feedback. The investogator's aim is to investigate the
 effects of a telemonitoring and chatbot-based application of "Living well with COPD" on
 health-related quality-of-life in patients with COPD.
