Abstract:
The study was aimed at exploring patients' experiences after the completion of a 12-month pulmonary telerehabilitation (PR) program. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 16 COPD patients. The interviews were analyzed using a thematic approach to identify patterns and themes. The patients exhibited high acceptability and satisfaction with the remote PR program and provided valuable input for its improvement. These insights will be used for the implementation of a patient-centered COPD telerehabilitation system.

Pulmonary Function Tests
Pulmonary Function Tests are crucial diagnostic tools for assessing respiratory function, particularly in patients with chronic respiratory disorders. They comprehensively evaluate lung volumes, ventilatory function, breathing mechanics, diffusion, and gas exchange. These tests help diagnose pulmonary diseases and play a significant role in monitoring disease progression, evaluating disability, and assessing response to therapy.
