App for self-management of COPD with remote clinician monitoring and management

myCOPD is one part of a long-term condition patient app. It can be used on almost any device and assists people with COPD to self-manage their condition more effectively while enabling clinicians to monitor and manage patients remotely at reduced cost.

The platform contains a self-management plan and inhaler diary, pulmonary rehabilitation program, online education tutorials, weather, pollution, and symptom reporting and interfaces with a clinician-facing dashboard to enable remote monitoring and management of patients at an individual and population level.

myCOPD also assists with annual reviews, reducing time to deliver by 75% and provides equivalent outcomes to class-based Pulmonary Rehabilitation.
