Abstract

Objective: To investigate the effect of digital therapy on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD patients.Methods: A total of 40 COPD patients admitted to a tertiary-level hospital in Zhangjiajie from June 2023 to March 2024 were selected as research subjects and randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group each with 20 cases. The control group received conventional nursing methods while the experimental group in addition to the conventional nursing methods implemented remote dynamic monitoring of COPD patients through the digital therapy platform real-time monitoring and feedback of patients' drug use and exercise and patients' health information was collected. The modified British Medical Research Council dyspnea scale mMRC score quality of life index chronic obstructive pulmonary disease assessment test CAT score pulmonary function the test of the adherence to inhalers TAI scorepressure metered-dose inhaler pMDI inhalation skills assessment depression screening scale PHQ-9), and generalized anxiety disorder self-assessment scale GAD-7 were compared before and after intervention in both groups. In addition the software satisfaction score was collected in the experimental group.Results: The results showed that there was no significant difference in mMRC scores between the two groups before intervention P>0.05); and the mMRC grading of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group after intervention P<0.05), there was no significant difference in CAT scores between the two groups before intervention P>0.05), and CAT scores of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group after intervention P<0.05. There was no significant difference in pulmonary function between the two groups before intervention P>0.05), and pulmonary function of the experimental group had improved more than that of the control group after intervention P<0.05. There was no significant difference in TAI scores between the two groups before intervention P>0.05), and TAI scores of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group after intervention P<0.05. There was no significant difference in pressure metered dose inhaler pMDI skills assessment scores between the two groups before intervention P>0.05), and pMDI skills assessment scores of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group after intervention P<0.05. There was no significant difference in PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scores between the two groups before intervention and after intervention P>0.05.Conclusion: Digital therapeutics can improve the overall condition of COPD patients but the effect on anxiety and depression needs further research.
