    My PhD research explored the experiences of people with COPD using activity monitors and healthcare practitioners' perspectives of their application within healthcare. This included conducting a scoping review, an interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) study with people with COPD, and a thematic analysis study with healthcare practitioners.
