Title: Evaluation of Home Automated Telemanagement in COPD
Brief Summary: All chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPDs) block air flow to the lungs, and the two most common forms, emphysema and chronic bronchitis, are the most common causes of respiratory failure. Previous research shows that if COPD patients know more about their disease and how to manage it themselves, they will improve their quality of life and reduce their need for urgent care. However, traditional methods of teaching COPD patients about their disease and self-management skills are expensive and require intensive work. A new, less expensive way of reaching a large group of people with this information is needed to help patients stay healthier and happier with their treatment. This study will create a computer program that can help people learn about their disease and how to manage it themselves. This study will then determine whether the computer program, called Home Automated Telemanagement (HAT), helps patients with COPD in managing their disease and following their treatment plans.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Physician diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD)
* Moderate to severe COPD according to NHLBI/WHO Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) classification (Stages II to III)
* Understands spoken English
* Has a functional telephone line or cable at home

Exclusion Criteria:

* Evidence that the participant may move from the study area before the completion of the study
* Presence of any health condition that would preclude participation, such as a psychiatric diagnosis or physical disability that would severely affect a participant's ability to carry out study procedures
* Inability to use telephone unassisted
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* People diagnosed with COPD or diabetes type 2 who are predominantly treated in primary care and who benefit from more physical activity, will be included. -This means patients who do not comply with the Dutch Norm for Healthy Exercise (30 minutes activity per day of a moderate intensity during five days a week)
* Their age should be between 40-70 years to ensure homogeneity in the groups
* Additional inclusion criteria for the diabetes group are a recent (no longer than a year ago) HbA1c concentration of more than 7% / more than 53 mmol/mol and a body mass index of more than 25kg/m2

For the COPD group the following additional inclusion criteria apply:

-A clinical diagnosis of COPD according to the GOLD-criteria stage 1, 2 and 3 (post bronchodilator FEV1/IVC \<= 70% and FEV1 between 30 and 80% of the predicted value); at least six weeks respiratory stable and on a stable drug regimen

Exclusion Criteria:

-Patients older than 70 years are not included because of a bigger risk for co-morbidity and a higher chance of mobility problems (balance)
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* A physician diagnosis of COPD
* Age 45 years and older
* Affirmative response to "Are you short of breath when hurrying on the level or walking up a slight hill?"
* Post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC \<0.7 and FEV1 \<70%

Exclusion Criteria:

* Inability to speak/read English
* Lives in a chronic care facility (i.e., nursing home, assisted living)
* Plans to move from the area within the next 18 months
* Life expectancy less than 12 months
* Participation in pulmonary rehabilitation or other clinical research in the past 12 months
* Inability to walk without assistance of a wheelchair or walker
* Inability to walk at least 110m on a 6-minute walk
* Uncontrolled angina, hypertension, psychiatric illness, or dementia
* Inability to obtain supplemental oxygen if indicated
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients who are clinically referred to rehabilitation at Aalborg Rehabilitation Center for their diagnosed COPD

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients living outside Aalborg municipality, or who is considering to move to another municipality or country in near future.
* Patients without a telephone
* Patients with dementia
* Patients participating in other research studies
