So putting a self-management tool on a cell phone is just a genius idea,\u201d Montague said.<br \/>\nHe sees that as a possible opportunity for Smart COPD to reach more people with low-incomes.<br \/>\n\u201cIf there\u2019s one thing I wish for, it\u2019s that we take advantage of something we\u2019re already paying for as a society and turn it into health care,\u201d Smith said.<br \/>\nInterested?
