Many recently published studies showed that, thanks to telemonitoring, the number of exacerbations, hospitalizations and emergency department visits was reduced by 38 to 58% in COPD patients. Moreover, in case of hospitalization the number of hospitalization days was halved, while life quality (assessed using the Chronic Respiratory questionnaire) improved by 28%.

	Private answer Nicolas Gay Thank you for the data. I worked in the last years on a communicant innovative mesh nebulizer and I managed the development of the real time device (combining nebulizer and spirometer), the smartphone apps and the web plateform. I was waiting for feedbacks and figures like this to know the real impact of those innovative products. Thanks! Marked as spam Report spam
	Private answer Hi Freddy, publication in BMJ 2013;347:f6070 showed no reduction in hospital admission, controlled trial, multicenter etc. Well, the point is, not the device creates the value , the process and the early intervention made the change, this was shown is other trials. Interesting discussion. Marked as spam Report spam
