The average age was 72.5 years, and 48% were women. Patients were most willing to use in-home visits by nurses, remote monitoring of vital signs and reporting oximeter values through an app or a website. Least popular interventions were in-home cough, speech and activity monitoring. Perceived usefulness and previous positive experiences were reasons why participants would accept various interventions. Increased willingness to use remote monitoring was seen in women (p=0.02), people who spoke English as a primary language (p=0.005), people who did not rely on others for support (p=0.04) and those followed by a respirologist (p=0.02).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our survey of patients admitted with COPD exacerbations provides insight into the types of remote monitoring interventions patients will accept and who are more interested in participating.
