Evaluating a Mobile Self-management Application for Patients With COPD Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

The COPD app consisted of an 8 week self-management program. The app had three views: timeline, information page, and contact page. The timeline was classified in 8 weeks, and each week included the lung exacerbation plan, daily and extra medication, information and education and questionnaires. The first week also included a video of a pulmonologist explaining the purpose of the app and additional information about the functionalities of the COPD app. A video consultation was planned after after 4 weeks and a face-to-face consultation after 8 weeks.
