Feasibility of a Multi Component Intervention in Patients With Severe Dyspnea and Obesity

Patients with lung disease and a BMI of 35 or greater who suffer from shortness of breath will be invited to participate in a study involving a commercial weight loss application with health coaching. The patients will subscribe on their own to the weight loss application. The patients will be provided with a blue tooth scale so that they may weigh themselves weekly. A health coach will call them weekly for 8 weeks.

Participants will receive usual care for 12 weeks followed by the active intervention.
