Why the study?
COPD exacerbations occur with increasing frequency as disease progresses and account for poor health status, worse prognosis, and higher healthcare expenditure.

Reduces remote monitoring burden in COPD; hypothesis-generating for exacerbation detection and should not yet change practice.
Does a networked system for remote physiological monitoring optimized with statistical process control improve feasibility of monitoring in patients with moderate to severe COPD?
Statistical process control improves the feasibility of remote physiological monitoring in COPD patients, potentially aiding in early detection of exacerbations.
