Telemonitoring in Pulmonary Rehabilitation: Feasibility and Acceptability of a Remote Pulse Oxymetry System.

Telemonitoring in Pulmonary Rehabilitation: Feasibility and Acceptability of a Remote Pulse Oxymetry System (FA-TELE-REHAB)

Pulmonary rehabilitation effectively improves outcomes in patients with chronic respiratory disease, however there is a lack of pulmonary rehabilitation centers. Telehealth technology is one solution to deliver supervised home-based rehabilitation (tele-rehabilitation).

However, the feasibility and the acceptability of using telehealth technology to deliver tele-rehabilitation has not been assessed in a large scale multicenter study.

Therefore, the aim of this study is to assess the feasibility and the acceptability of telemonitoring system during pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with chronic respiratory disease.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Age > 18 years ;
• Referred for pulmonary rehabilitation (every chronic respiratory disease accepted).

Exclusion Criteria:

• Pregnant woman or likely to be ;
• Patient under guardianship ;
• Neuropathic disorder ;
• Contraindication to cardiopulmonary exercise testing or pulmonary rehabilitation.
