WEBINAR: Integration of Home Monitoring in Lung Diseases (Focus on Rheumatic Conditions)
We were excited about the opportunity to discuss the integration of home monitoring in lung diseases, with a particular focus on patients with rheumatic conditions.
During this webinar, we explored several key topics, including:
-
Why we want home monitoring, including supporting self-management and enabling earlier and ongoing detection of change.
-
What we knew at that time about the validity and reliability of home spirometry, patient experience and adherence, and applications in routine care, clinical trials, and registries, with a brief note on complementary tools such as activity trackers.
-
Challenges of home monitoring, including data quality and interpretation, workflow integration, adherence, reimbursement and equity, and governance—and we outlined pragmatic solutions for clinical practice.
This session aimed to provide practical insights for clinicians and researchers while highlighting the latest innovations in digital health and patient-centered care for ILD.
