During this post-hospitalization period, patients spend most of their time indoors, making indoor environmental quality (IEQ, including air quality, lighting, noise and thermal aspects) a potentially important and modifiable determinant of recovery. For example, exposure to particulate matter (PM) has been associated with airway inflammation, symptom worsening, and increased exacerbation risk in COPD. However, evidence on continuously measured IEQ at home and its relationship with symptoms after hospitalization for acute exacerbation of COPD remains limited.\n\nRecent advances in wearable technology allow continuous monitoring of health insights in real-world settings. Prior studies have demonstrated the feasibility of wearable devices in patients with COPD and suggest that changes in activity, heart rate, and sleep may precede clinical deterioration or exacerbations. Integrating continuous IEQ monitoring with wearable-derived health insights (i.e., from a Garmin Venu 4 watch) and validated patient-reported outcomes, such as the widely used COPD Assessment Test (CAT), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS), Sleep Quality Scale (SQS), may improve understanding of symptom dynamics, uncover risk factors, and identify early indicators of worsening disease.
