In idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), home monitoring experiences are limited, not yet real-time available nor implemented in daily care. We evaluated feasibility and potential barriers of a new home monitoring program with real-time wireless home spirometry in IPF. Ten patients with IPF were asked to test this home monitoring program, including daily home spirometry, for four weeks. Measurements of home and hospital spirometry showed good agreement. All patients considered real-time wireless spirometry useful and highly feasible. Both patients and researchers suggested relatively easy solutions for the identified potential barriers regarding real-time home monitoring in IPF.
在特发性肺纤维化（IPF）中，家庭监测的经验有限，尚未实时提供，也未在日常护理中实施。我们评估了新的家庭监测计划的可行性和潜在障碍，该计划使用实时无线家庭肺量计进行 IPF 监测。十名 IPF 患者被要求测试该家庭监测计划，包括四周的日常家庭肺量计测试。家庭和医院肺量计的测量结果显示出良好的一致性。所有患者均认为实时无线肺量计有用且高度可行。患者和研究人员均针对 IPF 实时家庭监测的已识别潜在障碍提出了相对简单的解决方案。
