of population was; <40 yrs 14 (8%); 40-50 yrs 18 (9.6%); 50-60 yrs 29 (15.5%); 60-70 yrs 61 (32.6%); 70-80 yrs 47 (25.1%); > 80yrs 17 (9.1%). Within the total population it was found that 112 (60.5%) owned a computer and 138 (74.2%) own a mobile telephone however, of 138 only 22 (11.8%) were owners of a smart phone. Within each age range there were a small number of smart phone users but the predominant usage of smart phones occurred within the younger age ranges. Furthermore, within each age

... nge a higher percentage of the population owned a mobile phone than those that did not. Similarly within each age range a higher percentage of the population owned a computer than did not, excluding the >80 yrs, where 9 (52.9%) did not own a computer. Conclusion Overall the use of technology is limited in this COPD population. A significant proportion of those taking part used a mobile phone but a very small percentage used a smart phone, upon which a number of interventions might be delivered. Over half the population had a computer. There is a potential target market for providing alternative forms of pulmonary rehabilitation utilising technology, however, more evaluation is needed to ascertain whether a technological intervention would be acceptable to these patients.
