“…2,3 The present study has identified an area for quality improvement by providing strong evidence that the aspect ratio affects the visual interpretation of relatively acute changes in biological data such as during asthma exacerbations. The findings have immediate relevance to health monitoring, where the aim is to improve outcomes by early identification of deterioration.…”

“…With increasing use of internet and mobile phone-based resources for telehealth monitoring, [1][2][3] the visual display of data is also becoming more common. Charts may be used to confirm clinical diagnoses, to increase patient awareness of their condition, or to provide early warning of deterioration.…”

“…Current use of telehealth technologies in respiratory medicine is limited; 2 evidence for their effective use is accruing, [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] but there remain concerns about clinical and cost effectiveness. 7,17 These issues will be affected by the setting in which telehealth is deployed.…”

“…5 However, while recent articles have discussed the potential for telehealth in respiratory disease, they have also pointed out a lack of published robust evidence of clinical and economic benefit. 2,6,7 The feasibility of telecare and telemonitoring for COPD and asthma has been demonstrated, [8][9][10][11][12] and telemonitoring has been reported to reduce hospital admissions, emergency department visits and length of stay. 13,14 Remote monitoring of chemotherapy by mobile phone has also proven successful in lung cancer management.…”

Aims: Telehealth may offer opportunities to support primary and secondary care of patients with respiratory disease. This study examined the potential for applying telehealth in a region of the UK by exploring the distribution of patients and examining attitudes to implementation of telehealth. Methods:The distribution of patients with asthma, COPD, lung cancer and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSAS) in the NHS Highland Region (309,900 residents, 12,507 square miles) was determined from Quality and Outcomes Framework data and disease registers. Qualitative interviews with health professionals (n=20) focussing on the potential for telehealth in respiratory medicine were analysed using the Normalisation Process Model. Results:The most remote general practices accounted for 40% of patients with asthma (7198/17822), 45% of those with COPD (2145/4721), 33% of lung cancer (199/605) and 35% of OSAS (169/489) patients. Urban figures were 28% of asthma patients, 26% of COPD patients, 25% of lung cancer and 31% of OSAS patients. Interviewees identified a range of telehealth applications they considered potentially beneficial including management, information and communication systems. However, they also identified challenges -mainly related to training, costs and infrastructure.Conclusions: Tailoring telehealth to support management of respiratory diseases in primary care requires knowledge of patient distribution, which will impact on the nature and feasibility of services. Individual and organisational capacities and attitudes are also likely to influence successful implementation.

“…Pulmonary rehabilitation should be a core component of COPD management and should be associated with effective pharmacological therapy [1,42]. Telehealth (the utilisation of telecommunication technology for the transfer of health-related services and information) and remote patient monitoring are ideally suited for patients with COPD, but the benefits need to be evaluated in larger, appropriately controlled clinical studies [43].…”

The burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is considerable, both socially and economically. Central to COPD management is the use of long-acting bronchodilators, which provide patients with optimal bronchodilation and improvements in symptoms. The once-daily, long-acting b 2 -agonist indacaterol, the long-acting muscarinic antagonist glycopyrronium, and the indacaterol/glycopyrronium fixed-dose combination QVA149 have all been shown to significantly improve lung function and patientreported outcomes. The ability to take medication appropriately is important. Easy to use, low resistance devices may help patients take their medication and achieve good drug deposition. There is a need to optimise COPD management by treating the right patients with the right therapy at the right time during the course of their disease. Herein, we present a view on the current COPD management landscape and current unmet needs, and look to the future of COPD treatment and how patient care can be optimised. @ERSpublications There is a need to optimise COPD treatment, with the aim of improving patients' lives
