Wellinks Intervention
Following inpatient hospitalization for COPD exacerbation, participants will receive 16 weeks of access to Wellinks (i.e., connected spirometer and pulse oximeter, virtual respiratory therapist sessions with pulmonary rehabilitation, virtual health coaching sessions, mobile app access, COPD-related education).
The 16-week period is comprised of a 30-day post-discharge program followed by a 12-week intensive period, which vary by frequency of contact with respiratory therapists/health coaches.
|
30-day post-discharge period: virtual respiratory therapist sessions twice per week with synchronous virtual pulmonary rehabilitation and educational materials; at-home use of connected spirometer and pulse oximeter; at-home use of mobile app. 12-week intensive period: virtual health coaching sessions once every two weeks; asynchronous virtual pulmonary rehabilitation program; ongoing access to connected devices (spirometer and pulse oximeter) and mobile app. |
Matched Controls
A matched control dataset will be extracted from electronic medical records of the participating healthcare system.
Participants will be matched on an index COPD-related hospitalization and other key factors, utilizing propensity score matching (i.e., number of COPD-related hospitalizations in prior year, severity of COPD, age).
