Support COPD patients with a reality-augmented coach for physical activity

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This multicenter, non-randomized, proof-of-concept study evaluates the acceptability of an augmented reality virtual coach that guides physical exercise for people with COPD. Participants will have a baseline assessment, try on an AR headset, complete a short immersive exercise session with real-time guidance, then undergo post-session assessments. The aim is to see whether patients find the AR coach acceptable and feasible to use in conjunction with physical activity programs. The study addresses access and adherence challenges to traditional pulmonary rehabilitation by delivering guidance through an immersive, real-environment experience. No long-term outcomes or randomization are reported in this design.
