Exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) occur with increasing frequency as the disease progresses and account for poor health status, worse prognosis, and higher healthcare expenditure. We developed a networked system for remote physiological monitoring (RPM) at home and optimi...
