Music walking application BeatClearWalker (BCW)

The music walking application (BCW) is a smartphone application that can monitor the walking pace and allow individuals to listen to music and give immediate feedback so they can correct their walking pace to match their target walking speed, as prescribed by the healthcare professional. The application provides real-time audio feedback in the form of music; the music sound quality will reduce whenever the walking speed drops below or exceeds the participant\'s target walking speed. Simply, the application will work to supervise service users while exercising walking. The investigators are trying to assess the feasibility of this application with service users during their Pulmonary Rehabilitation programme (at the hospital/ home) to find out how participants interact with listening to music while exercise walking and how well they're able to keep to their target speed.
