RATIONALE: Alternatives to center-based pulmonary rehabilitation are needed to improve patient access to this important therapy. A critical challenge to overcome is how to maximize safety of unsupervised exercise for at-risk patients. We investigated if a novel remote monitoring-enabled mobile health (mHealth) program is safe, feasible, and effective for patients who experience exercise-induced hemoglobin desaturation. METHODS: An interstitial lung disease (ILD) commonly associated with pronounced exercise desaturation was investigated - the rare, female-predominant ILD lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM)...
