Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic disease characterised by a graduate decline of pulmonary function and it constitutes a provable burden on society. Tele-homecare technology (THC) is a young field of research that has shown potential with regards to enhancing the level of self-management among COPD patients. Self-management is closely connected to health literacy. Health literacy and THC have shown great potential in terms of reducing healthcare costs and improving quality of life for COPD patients. The objective of this poster is to raise awareness regarding the potential of using THC to improve the level of health literacy.
