Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Validity of activity monitor/smartphone to accurately measure and record physical activity of COPD patients
Time Frame: 3 months
Conduct tests to evaluate the activity monitor/smartphone system's ability to capture physical activity for COPD patients in comparison with the gold standard device in the field. The average number of steps and minutes per day spent in physical activities recorded by the experimental device will be compared to the gold standard device.
3 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
