Internet of Things-Based Home Respiratory Muscle Training for Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Internet of Things-Based Home Respiratory Muscle Training for Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to assess the effectiveness of Internet of Things (IoT)-based home respiratory muscle training (RMT) for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Patients and Methods: Seventy-eight patients with COPD were randomly divided into two groups. The intervention group received IoT-based home RMT twice daily for 12 weeks, while the control group received routine health education. Assessments were conducted pre-intervention and 12 weeks post-intervention.

Results: The intervention group showed improvements in lung function, respiratory muscle strength, dyspnea scale, CAT questionnaires, anxiety levels, and 6-month COPD-related readmission compared to the control group.

Conclusion: IoT-based home RMT may offer significant benefits for patients with COPD compared to no intervention.
