A randomised controlled study of the efficacy of Internet of Things-based telerespiratory rehabilitation for chronic respiratory diseases

Key Points

• This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an IoT-based telerespiratory rehabilitation program for chronic respiratory diseases.
• Conducted a 6-month randomized controlled trial
• Compared IoT-based rehabilitation to conventional rehabilitation
• Measured exercise capacity, lung function, dyspnoea index, and respiratory muscle strength
• Monitored rehospitalisations during the study period
• Significant improvements in exercise capacity and lung function
• Reduction in dyspnoea index and increased respiratory muscle strength
• Lower rehospitalisation rates compared to conventional rehabilitation
