COPD Management by symptom and activity tracking

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a home-based COPD management system to objectively track the disease progress during the daily-living of patients. The selection of the devices is performed to map the COPD assessment test questions and the patients lung function at home. A CAir Desk was developed to improve the usability of the many connected devices. We explain the IT architecture, data flow, as well as the data aggregation and visualization concept of our solution. Details on the usage during the trial is provided as well.
