self-monitoring for patients with severe COPD
"Patients are equipped with a telemonitoring kit composed by a portable wrist-clinic device for clinical parameters measuring and a gateway device for data transmission.~The patient can monitor pulse-oxymetry and heart rate with a frequency set by the clinician in the personalised treatment plan. Data are transmitted to a regional eHealth centre where a group of operators keeps these information under control and alert the reference clinician in case of worsening of symptoms. CAT questionnaire is monthly administrated by phone to the patients"
nurse-monitoring for patients with severe COPD
A nurse is in charge of data collection during home visits with a frequency set by the lung specialist depending to the patient clinical conditions. The nurse uses portable biomedical devices to measure pulse-oxymetry, heart rate, spirometry and if scheduled an arterial blood gas test. Data are transmitted to the clinician who checks them on his laptop in the hospital and completes the visit with the medical report.
