Effects of Adherence to an mHealth Tool for Self-Management of COPD Exacerbations.

Purpose: Poor adherence to COPD mobile health (mHealth) has been reported, but its association with exacerbation-related outcomes is unknown. We explored the effects of mHealth adherence on exacerbation-free weeks and self-management behavior. We also explored differences in self-efficacy and stages of grief between adherent and non-adherent COPD patients.
