Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study will test whether a combination of health education, a mobile app, and a smart band can help people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) improve their quality of life and reduce flare-ups. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: One group will receive health education, use a mobile app that shows real-time air quality (AirVisual), and wear a smart band that tracks activity and sleep (Amazfit Band 5). The other group will receive standard care and advice. All participants will complete health checks and quality-of-life questionnaires at the beginning of the study and again after 6 months. The goal is to find out if this combination of tools helps people with COPD manage their condition better and have fewer flare-ups.
