Virtual Exercise Program in Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) Patients

Intervention (8 weeks): using the participants' initial assessment and personal characteristics, the therapist will provide personalized recommendations (e.g. maximum heart rate, minimum SpO2), explain the educational materials, and instruct patients on safety precautions. All participants (and immediate caregiver if necessary) will receive training in: 1) basic device management (join a zoom meeting, watch a YouTube video), 2) use of the portable spirometer and its associated app, 3) use of finger pulse oximeter and 4) recording of the values in a dairy.
