摘要:
A computer-implemented method for predicting an onset of an exacerbation in a COPD patient is provided. The method includes measuring physical activity of the patient over a period of time to gather physical activity data; measuring a respiration characteristic of the patient over the period of time to gather respiration data; and executing, on one or more computer processors, one or more computer program modules to detect the onset of the exacerbation based on predetermined criteria, wherein the predetermined criteria comprises a comparison of a change in the respiration data with a change in the physical activity data.
