Summary

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a public health problem: high prevalence; increasing morbidity and mortality; impact on health costs. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a multidisciplinary intervention combining exercise training, therapeutic education, psychosocial and behavioral interventions. Its effects are beneficial in the short and medium terms but are limited in time, between 6 and 12 months, for patients who do not pursue regular physical activity (PA) in post-rehabilitation and who do not adopt behavioral changes for health, by loss of motivation. Maintaining the long-term benefits acquired during a short-term PR program is therefore a major issue in the management of COPD. The recent development of remote rehabilitation is a promising approach that has been studied in few studies.

In a randomized, controlled and multicenter study, we propose to test the hypothesis that the use of a mobile telerehabilitation solution will allow COPD patients to mainain at long-term the benefits acquired during a short-temr programm and therfore improve their quality of life.
