Brief Summary

Advances in technology has meant that domiciliary non-invasive (NIV) devices can be remotely monitored via modems in patients' homes. Possible benefits and challenges of modem technology have yet to be established. This study explored the perspectives and experiences of patients, their carers' and health care professionals (HCPs) on the addition of modem technology in managing home NIV patients.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

• Patients and carers •Patients and their carers who received treatment from the Royal Free London (RFL) domiciliary NIV service both pre and post modem installation will be eligible to be included in the study.
• HCPs
• Staff who have experience of looking after patients with NIV both with and without modems will be able to take part in the study. Staff recruited will be currently working at RFL. We have been using modems for all of our patients with NIV since December 2014. Therefore rotational staff (e.g. registrars) working RFL will only have experience of looking after patients with modems on their NIV. To allow for this factor staff will be allowed to join the study even if their experience of looking after patients with NIV without modems is at other hospitals.

You may not qualify if:

• Patients under the care of the RFL domiciliary NIV service who have only had experience of treatment with a modem in situ will be excluded from the study.
• Patients who are unable to verbally communicate
• Patients who cannot have an "everyday" level conversation in English
