Introduction
The article by Moor, Wapenaar, Miedema, Geelhoed, Chandoesing, & Wijsenbeek, (2018) aims to show the feasibility of home monitoring for patients having idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) using a real-time wireless home spirometry. The study applied ten elderly participants under home monitoring for four weeks. At the end of the study, the real-time wireless home spirometry was found feasible due to its usefulness.
Type of the study conducted
The study was qualitative in nature. The study relied upon the symptoms recorded by the participants to collect its data.
Strengths and weaknesses of the study
This study has both strengths and weaknesses. The strength of the study is that it establishes the challenges and possible solutions while using applying real-time home spirometry. The second strength of this study is that it uses graphical representations for patient targets to discourage them from underperforming. Apart from the strengths, the study has several weaknesses. The first weakness is that the study uses few participants; …
