Others
NO
The purpose of this study is to compare the implementation of ICT-supported home-based respiratory muscle stretching exercises for COPD patients before and after the intervention, evaluating its effectiveness (changes in CAT scores), safety (adverse events, readmissions, falls), and implementation rate. Furthermore, it will examine the feasibility and continuity of an ICT-supported program for patients who find outpatient rehabilitation difficult.
Efficacy
Exploratory
Safety (adverse events, readmissions, falls) and efficacy (change in COPD Assessment Test (CAT) score) at 8 weeks after initiation of rehabilitation.
Interventional
Single arm
Non-randomized
Open -no one is blinded
Uncontrolled

Participants performed respiratory muscle stretching exercises at home twice daily for 8 weeks using an instructional video. A smartwatch and tablet application were used to monitor step count, heart rate, and exercise adherence. Feedback and reminders were provided via chatbot. A follow-up outpatient visit was held at week 4, and reassessment was conducted at week 8.
