[Telemonitoring of severe COPD patients].

Following a solicitation of INAMI in 2016, a team of the CHU Liège pneumology department has proposed a telemonitoring pilot project in severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. The main objective of the study was to reduce the number of hospitalizations for COPD exacerbation. The patients included in the study had been at least hospitalized once in 12 months before the beginning of the telemonitoring.
