About

The goal of this observational study is to determine if a COPD exacerbation can be detected early in its onset. The main questions it aims to answer are:

• Can an exacerbation be detected before the person recognizes they are unwell?
• What are the biological signals which provide the best indication of decompensation?
• How does this indication of decompensation compare to a daily CAT?

Participants will be asked to place a device, DistaSense, on top of their mattress and then sleep as normal. In addition, they will be asked to complete a daily CAT.
