To facilitate a safe rollout of the remote rehabilitation program for COPD patients in Southwest Finland. 2. To identify and subsequently improve limitations of the rehabilitation program. 3. To evaluate the levels of participant engagement and adherence to the digital COPD rehabilitation program over an extended period to understand its sustainability and long-term impact. 4. To determine the effectiveness of the digital COPD rehabilitation program in improving lung function, exercise capacity, and quality of life among participants 5. To assess the impact of the digital program on healthcare resource utilization, including hospital readmissions, emergency room visits, and outpatient visits related to COPD management. 6. To measure participant satisfaction, usability, and overall experience with the digital platform to identify areas for improvement and enhance user engagement. 7. To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of implementing the digital program compared to conventional rehabilitation methods, considering direct healthcare costs.
