Title: Home-based Health Management of COPD Patients
Brief Summary: Regular physical activity has been found to be important in maintaining health and well-being in people with COPD. The purpose of this study is to test new technology and health coaching aimed to help people with COPD become more physically active in their daily lives.

A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Smoking history (≥ 10 pack/year)

Exclusion Criteria:

* Anticoagulation or coagulation defect
* Hypoxemia or exercise-induced desaturation (SpO2 \< 85%)
* Antibiotic or oral corticosteroid therapy (end of treatment \< 1 month prior to study)
* Anti-inflammatory treatment, exacerbation (\< 3 months)
* Myopathy
* Neuromuscular or locomotor diseases
* Recent cancer
* Unstable cardiac condition
* Asthma
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* • Men and women age 40 years and older

  * Current or former smoker of at least 10 pack-years
  * Diagnosis of Global Initiative for Chronic Lung Disease (GOLD) stage II, III or IV COPD as documented by pulmonary function
  * Are eligible for Pulmonary Rehabilitation

Exclusion Criteria:

* • Unable to perform mild exercises

  * Patients with a high likelihood of being lost to follow-up or contact (patients with active chemical dependency), are planning to move out of the state, are not living in the healthcare area.
  * Patients with an inability to provide good data or follow commands (patients who are disoriented, have a severe neurologic or psychiatric condition).
C: Inclusion criteria:

* All patients must sign an informed consent consistent with International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) - Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines prior to participation in the trial, which includes medication washout and restrictions.
* All patients must have a diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and must meet the following spirometric criteria: Patients must have relatively stable airway obstruction with a post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in one second \>=30% and \<80% of predicted normal; Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease grade II - III, and a post-bronchodilator Tiffeneau index \<70% at Visit 1.
* Male or female patients, aged \>=40 years and \<=75 years.
* Patients must be current or ex-smokers with a smoking history of more than 10 pack years. Patients who have never smoked cigarettes must be excluded.

Exclusion criteria:

* Patients with a significant disease other than chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
* Patients with clinically relevant abnormal baseline haematology, blood chemistry, or urinalysis.

* A history of myocardial infarction within 1 year of screening visit.
* Unstable or life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia.
* Hospitalized for heart failure within the past year.
* Known active tuberculosis.
* A malignancy for which patient has undergone resection, radiation therapy or chemotherapy within last five years.
* A history of life-threatening pulmonary obstruction and patients with chronic respiratory failure.
* A history of cystic fibrosis.
* Clinically evident bronchiectasis.
* A history of significant alcohol or drug abuse.
* Any contraindications for exercise testing.
* Patients who have undergone thoracotomy with pulmonary resection.
* Patients being treated with any oral ß-adrenergics.
* Patients being treated with oral corticosteroid medication at unstable doses (i.e., less than six weeks on a stable dose) or at doses in excess of the equivalent of 10 mg of prednisone per day or 20 mg every other day.
* Patients who regularly use daytime oxygen therapy for more than one hour per day and in the investigators opinion will be unable to abstain from the use of oxygen therapy during clinic visits.
* Patients who have completed a pulmonary rehabilitation program in the six weeks prior to the screening visit or patients who are currently in a pulmonary rehabilitation program.
* Patients who have a limitation of exercise performance as a result of factors other than fatigue or exertional dyspnoea, such as arthritis in the leg, angina pectoris or claudication or morbid obesity.
* Patients who have taken an investigational drug within one month or six half lives (whichever is greater) prior to screening visit.
* Patients with known hypersensitivity to ß-adrenergics drugs, anticholinergic drugs, benzalkonium chloride, disodium edentat, or any other component of the Respimat® inhalation solution delivery system.
* Pregnant or nursing women.
* Women of childbearing potential not using highly effective methods of birth control.
* Patients who have previously been randomized in this study or are currently participating in another study.
D: Inclusion Criteria:

To be eligible for inclusion in this study Patients fulfil all of the following criteria:

1. Written informed consent obtained before any assessment is performed.
2. Male and female patients ≥ 40 years of age
3. Diagnosis of COPD \[post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume at one second (FEV1) \<80% predicted and FEV1/ forced vital capacity (FVC) \<75% without significant post-bronchodilator reversibility (\<10% FEV1 % predicted normal)\]
4. Optimal medical treatment according to GOLD without regular use of systemic corticosteroids
5. Current or ex-smokers with a smoking history equivalent to at least 10 pack years (1 pack year = 20 cigarettes smoked per day for 1 year)
6. Absence of other significant diseases that could contribute to exercise limitation
7. At least 2 COPD exacerbations the year before the time entry

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients fulfilling any of the following criteria are not eligible for inclusion in this study. No additional exclusions are applied by the investigator, in order to ensure that the study population will be representative of all eligible patients.

1. Orthopedic, neurological or other complaints that significantly impair normal biomechanical movement patterns, as judged by the investigator. Specifically if the patients' condition/ co-morbidities are such that physical activity cannot be increased.
2. Respiratory diseases other than COPD (e.g. asthma)
3. Cognitive reading impairment and/or difficulties to manage electronic devices precluding interaction with the tablet, as judged by the investigator
4. Patients not on optimal pharmacotherapy
5. No COPD exacerbations the year before the time entry
