Burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and its attributable risk factors in 204 countries and territories, 1990-2019: results from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019

Saeid Safiri et al.

Summary: This study reports the global, regional, and national burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and its risk factors from 1990 to 2019. The findings indicate that although the burden of COPD has decreased, it still remains a significant public health problem worldwide. Preventive measures should focus on smoking cessation, improving air quality, and reducing occupational exposure to further reduce the burden of COPD.

An Integrated, Multimodal, Digital Health Solution for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Prospective Observational Pilot Study

Brian D. Gelbman et al.

Summary: This pilot study showed that patients with COPD engaged well with the Wellinks mHealth platform over an 8-week period, with high satisfaction levels. In this small sample, patients were willing and able to successfully use the technology regardless of disease severity, age, or gender. The Wellinks mHealth platform was considered valuable by patients and can assist clinicians in making better decisions for COPD management.
