DetectEx: Non-contact Proactive Remote Monitoring of COPD Exacerbations
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this observational study is to determine if a COPD exacerbation can be detected early in its onset. The main questions it aims to answer are:
-
Can an exacerbation be detected before the person recognizes they are unwell?
-
What are the biological signals which provide the best indication of decompensation?
-
How does this indication of decompensation compare to a daily CAT?
Participants will be asked to place a device, DistaSense, on top of their mattress and then sleep as normal. In addition, they will be asked to complete a daily CAT.

Discharged COPD patients Group will consist of individuals who have been diagnosed with COPD, living in their home, and are being discharged from the hospital for an exacerbation. |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Track the adherence of DistaSense [12 months]
To evaluate the adherence of patients using DistaSense, a non-contact vital sign monitor that measures heart rate and respiration rate, we will be tracking the patient dropout rate over the course of the 12 month study period.
- Understand the patient acceptance of DistaSense [12 months]
To evaluate the patient acceptance of using DistaSense, a non-contact vital sign monitor that measures heart rate and respiration rate, we will be requesting patients complete a Technology Assessment Model Fast Form (TAM-FF) every 3 months during the 12 month trial period.
- Ability to detect COPD exacerbations [3 - 12 months]
To evaluate the ability of a non-contact remote monitoring techniques to detect exacerbations of COPD.
