Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Patients who meet all of the following criteria are eligible for enrollment as study participants:
- Males and females over the age of 40 years.
- physician-diagnosed COPD classified as GOLD 2-3, C-D for at least 1 year.
- Using rescue medications at home delivered by a metered-dose inhaler or MDI.
- Speak, read, and understand English.
- Able to understand study requirements and comply with study procedures.
- Ability to operate a smartphone or tablet (for questionnaire and symptoms input).
Exclusion criteria
- Subjects who meet any of these criteria are not eligible for enrollment as study participants:
- Physically disabled such that they are incapable of performing forced oscillometry test (for airway impedance measurement)
- Physically disabled such that they are incapable of using metered-dose inhalers.
- Suffer from any visual, hearing, or cognitive impairment that cannot be corrected enough to operate the CareCOPD devices properly. Mild/moderate vision loss and mild hearing loss may be included with appropriate corrective measures that do not affect the device usage.
- Suffering from serious uncontrolled medical conditions that may interfere with study conduct.
- Continuous home Oxygen use for greater than 16 hours/day.
- Inability or unwillingness of the participant to give written informed consent.
- Individuals who are not yet adults (infants, children, teenagers)
- Pregnant women

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
