This study looked for adults in the community who had breathing problems but no diagnosis to see if early treatment could improve their health and reduce their need for medical care. Researchers...
What did the research discover? Researchers studied whether using computers and mobile devices, like smartphones and tablets, could help people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) manage their condition better than traditional methods, such as face-to-face meetings or written materials. To find the most reliable studies, the researchers searched...
