Therefore, future strategies to improve COPD management and outcomes are needed for the betterment of patient care. Wearable technology interventions offer considerable promise in improving outcomes, but prior reviews fall short of assessing their role in the COPD population. In this systematic review and meta-analysis we searched ovid-MEDLINE, ovid-EMBASE, CINAHL, CENTRAL, and IEEE databases from inception to April 2023 to identify studies investigating wearable technology interventions in an adult COPD population with prespecified outcomes of interest including physical activity promotion, increasing exercise capacity, exacerbation detection, and quality-of-life. We identified 7396 studies, of which 37 were included in our review. Meta-analysis showed wearable technology interventions significantly increased: the mean daily step count (mean difference (MD) 850 (494\u20131205) steps\/day) and the six-minute walk distance (MD 5.81\u2009m (1.02\u201310.61\u2009m). However, the impact was short-lived. Furthermore, wearable technology coupled with another facet (such as health coaching or pulmonary rehabilitation) had a greater impact that wearable technology alone. Wearable technology had little impact on quality-of-life measures and had mixed results for exacerbation avoidance and prediction. It is clear that wearable technology interventions may have the potential to form a core part of future COPD management plans, but further work is required to translate this into meaningful clinical benefit.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41746-023-00962-0","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,27]],"date-time":"2023-11-27T19:04:05Z","timestamp":1701111845000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["Wearable technology interventions in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Amar J.","family":"Shah","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Malik A.","family":"Althobiani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Anita","family":"Saigal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Chibueze E.","family":"Ogbonnaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"John R.","family":"Hurst","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2232-5880","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Swapna","family":"Mandal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"962_CR1","unstructured":"GOLD.
