Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Primary outcome measures Bedside spirometry (handheld spirometer, daily): - Vital capacity (VC) - Forced vital capacity (FVC) - Forced expiratory volume after 1 second (FEV1) - Peak expiratory flow (PEF) - Parameters derived or calculated from these values. Fitness tracker (worn on wrist, 24/7): - Number of steps - Distance traveled - Determination of calorie consumption - Activity duration Physiological parameter (daily): - Heart rate - blood pressure - Oxygen saturation (SpO2) - respiratory rate Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)	—
