Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of the questionnaire-based THC approach in detecting AECOPD was 95, 98, 26 and 99.9%, respectively. Overall patient satisfaction in respect to their health condition improved significantly (VAS 8-8.7; p = 0.002). Conclusions: Adding THC to state-of-the-art COPD management is feasible in a selected subgroup of patients. We estimate that up to 50% of COPD patients could be eligible for a THC strategy. Patient compliance, acceptance and satisfaction were very high. With the proposed approach, we missed only very few AECOPD events. However, a telephone-based verification of THC alerts was required. Overall, in this proof-of-concept study, we experienced a positive effort-to-benefit ratio.

It is widely believed that telehealthcare interventions may help address some of the challenges posed by asthma by enabling remote delivery of care, facilitating timely access to health advice, supporting self-monitoring and medication concordance, and educating patients on avoiding triggers. 14-16 The precise role of these technologies in the management of care for people with long-term respiratory conditions needs to be established. 17 The objective of this study was to systematically review the effectiveness of telehealthcare interventions among people with asthma in terms of quality of life, number of visits to the emergency department and admissions to hospital for exacerbations of asthma. Methods Population We included trials that had involved both children and adults. We were interested in randomized controlled trials done in both family practice and hospital settings. Studies had to involve participants who had received a diagnosis of asthma from a physician. Studies involving people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were excluded, as they are being included in a separate
