COPD Rehabilitation App Improves At-Home Outcomes Following Inpatient Rehabilitation
In the study conducted by physicians at Zurich Rehabilitation Centers in Switzerland and the University of Marburg in Germany patients were tracked for 6 months following their release from rehabilitation. Half of the 60 patients were asked to use Kaia Health’s COPD app to assist their rehabilitation. The data showed patients who used the app had increased physical activity compared to the control group. It also showed that app users had improved scores on the COPD Assessment Test, in which patients rate symptoms such as coughing, congestion, and chest tightness.
