Feasibility Study to Use Biosensing Devices to Monitor PA and Resp. Function in Smokers w and w/o Resp. Symptoms/COPD

Inclusion Criteria

• Pneumonia or other respiratory tract infections that have not resolved at least 14 days prior to screening
• Pneumonia occurring after screening but before the first study visit
• Active respiratory disorders: tuberculosis, lung cancer, significant bronchiectasis, sarcoidosis, bronchial asthma, lung fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, interstitial lung diseases, or other active pulmonary diseases
• Any co-morbid medical condition that in the opinion of the investigator would make participation in the study unsafe or unfeasible, including conditions that prohibit completion of exercise testing
• Use of supplemental oxygen therapy
• Inability to abstain from smoking during the period in which the participant is admitted to the Kazakhstan Academy of Preventive Medicine (KAPM) COPD Center
• A history of allergy or hypersensitivity to metal, particularly stainless steel
• Any vital sign indicator, for example, hypertension or tachycardia at rest that, at the discretion of the investigator, would make participation in the study unsafe or unfeasible
