The investigators' goal for this project is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and actual usage of a program of care for patients with COPD recently discharged after an acute exacerbation. The program of care includes virtual pulmonary rehabilitation, integrated care, and remote clinical monitoring.
The investigators' goal for this project is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and actual usage of a multimodal, individualized program of care for patients with COPD recently discharged from hospital with an acute exacerbation. The program will combine elements of existing standards of care at two institutions, Toronto Grace Health Centre and University Health Network, with emerging technologies.
The investigators want to determine whether the program is considered appropriate and useful to both patients and health care providers, and whether it is feasible to implement. The investigators also want to determine whether it is feasible to conduct a large-scale randomized control trial of the program. The investigators will also explore whether each intervention reduces re-admissions to hospital.

| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hyfe Smartwatch | Device | Passive recording of audio with detection of explosive sounds. When explosive sounds are detected, a 0.5-1 seconds audio clip is recorded, and run through an algorithm to determine whether or not it is a cough. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Feasibility of the program and research study | Feasibility of the study and the program of care as determined by study participation and completion. The primary endpoints will be enrollments per month (at least 3 per study site) and data and follow up completeness (at least 75%). | 90 days |
| Acceptability by patients and clinicians | Acceptability of the program as determined by patient questionnaire as well as patient and health care provider interview | 90 days |
| Actual usage over 90 days | Actual usage of all program components determined objectively through logs | 90 days |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Readmissions within 30 days | Readmissions to hospital within 30 days of discharge compared to control groups in past studies | 30 days |

The UHN research team (principal investigator, research coordinator and other delegated research staff) will have access to all source data and documents.
A dataset will be created with de-identified data from RCM. We will seek broad consent from participants for the future unspecified use of this data. This is in line with TCPS2 and CIHR funding guidelines to ensure data generated from this study is available to other researchers both in Canada and outside to inform improve patient, population and systems outcomes.
The TGHC and UHN clinical teams will have access to PHI to conduct VPR and Integrated Care, and for clinical escalation when required from RCM.
The UHN, TGHC, and U of T research teams will have access to anonymized data for analysis purposes.
Data will become available after study completion and for up to 5 years.
Data will be stored and analyzed on the secure UHN server. De-identified data will be analyzed by trained study personnel at the University of Toronto.
