Abstract. Remote monitoring (RM) could be as a tool to improve the management of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
The aim: to evaluate the impact of RM and counseling services on severity and relapse rates in patients with COPD.
Material and methods. A systematic review was performed to evaluate and compare the data from articles analyzing the efficacy of RM comparatively with standard care in COPF patients. Strategy of electronic search was based on identifying studies published in PubMed, Elibrary libraries from 2010 to 2024. The search was performed using the following keywords: telemedicine, telemonitoring, COPD, teleconsultation.
Results. The results of the analysis indicate heterogeneity in the efficacy of telemonitoring of COPD patients. First, 7 of 15 (45%) publications reported that patient outcomes were improved overall with telemonitoring, while 6 of 15 (38%) reported no improvement. And in 2 out of 15 publications, the authors concluded that RM has both positive and negative sides.
Conclusion. The diversity of articles and the types of telehealth care they covered resulted in contradictive conclusions from the systematic review. As the digital medical technology sphere continues to develop, the integration of RM into COPD care promises to improve patient care, enhance patient self-management facilities and optimize resources allocation.
