This paper presents findings from a scoping review of published evidence on technology-enabled remote monitoring in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) pathways. It sets out the context for the review, in terms of the prevalence of COPD, use of health and care services and experiences of patients, as well as policy relating to the use of technology to support remote monitoring for COPD patients in the UK. It sets out and reflects on findings about how technology is used for remote monitoring for COPD patients in research and clinical settings, the evidence on its impact on patient outcomes, cost effectiveness and user experience, and influences on implementation. The work presented here forms one part of a rapid evaluation of technology-enabled remote monitoring for COPD (March to September 2024). The evaluation consists of this review alongside qualitative interviews with four NHS sites that are using (or planning to use) technology-enabled remote monitoring for COPD, as well as service users. The rapid evaluation of technology-enabled remote monitoring for COPD, including this review, is being conducted by DECIDE (Digitally Enabled Care In Diverse Environments), a partnership between the University of Oxford and RAND Europe, and funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Health and Social Care Delivery Research programme to support a programme of work evaluating technology-enabled remote monitoring in health and social care.
