Lung transplantation is now a prevalent treatment option for patients with end‐stage lung disease, contributing to longer life expectancy and improved quality of life.1 Despite clinical advances in the field, lung transplant recipients (LTRs) frequently experience postoperative complications that result in unplanned hospital readmissions and other adverse outcomes.2 Decreased adherence with care has been identified as a key driver of poor outcomes, generating the need for more adherence‐enhancing interventions designed specifically for LTRs. Daily home spirometry initiatives have made some progress towards the achievement of this goal. They have been shown to improve patient satisfaction, compliance with care, and the detection of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome.
