"We have been studying digital health solutions for COPD symptom management for over a decade and are pleased that the improvements we have seen in our patients in response to early identification and intervention has been documented in this clinical study. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients benefit from a digital health application that allows users to report symptoms of the disorder, according to a two year clinical study by the Temple Lung Centre. Patients that used the application to report their daily symptoms experienced "fewer and less severe COPD exacerbation symptoms" following same-day consultation with an expert. The study, published in the journal PLOS ONE, was conducted at the University of Toronto Health Centre using data collected between 2010 and 2012 on more than 1,000 patients.
