App Description
The COPD Foundation invites you to use the StopCOPD app to join the COPD Patient-Powered Research Network (COPD PPRN), a lung health research study aimed at improving our understanding of COPD. The StopCOPD app uses the new ResearchKit software framework designed by Apple to make it easy for researchers to gather data more frequently and more accurately from participants using iPhone apps. ResearchKit enables participants to easily complete tasks or submit surveys right from the StopCOPD app and delivers a simple way to present participants with an interactive informed consent process.
The StopCOPD app can help you measure your activity through sensors in your iphone or the Apple Watch, or any wearable activity device linked to the Apple Health App. The StopCOPD app provides the ability to attain greater insight into your COPD or respiratory symptoms.
