| Abstract: | Background: About 60% of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients are not adherent to their treatment and 50-60% of COPD patients use their Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI) incorrectly. Good therapy adherence and a right inhalation technique are important to slow down or stop the disease deterioration of COPD. To improve patients therapy adherence and inhalation technique, the RS01X™ was developed, a device that tracks correct inhaler use. Aim: This study aims to investigate the possible effect real-time feedback has on the inhalation technique and therapy adherence of COPD patients. In addition, the usability of the RS01X™ with accompanying feedback providing application and health care professional (HCP) portal will be investigated. Methods: Ten to twelve COPD patients, recruited between June and December 2022 at Medisch Spectrum Twente (MST), will use the RS01X™ with accompanying application for four consecutive weeks in which therapy adherence and inhalation technique will be measured. At the start and the end of the study the inhalation technique will be observed. During the study patients will fill in a questionnaires on baseline characteristics and two questionnaire on the usability of the application. Discussion: This study is expected to gain first insights into the possible effect the RS01X™ with accompanying feedback providing mobile application has on the therapy adherence and inhalation technique. Moreover, this study will gain insights in the usability of the accompanied mobile application and HCP portal. This information will help to improve acceptance of the technology when implementing it into the healthcare system.
