Severity Classification of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Asthma with Heart Rate and SpO2 Sensors
Abstract:
Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease are chronic and long-term lung diseases. Disease monitoring with minimal sensors with high efficacy can make the disease control simple and practical for patients. We propose a model for the severity assessment of the diseases through wearables and compatible with mobile health applications, using only heart rate and SpO2 (from pulse oximeter sensor). Patient data were obtained from the MIMIC- III Waveform Database Matched Subset. The dataset consists of 158 subjects. Both heart rate and SpO2 signal of patients are analyzed via the proposed algorithm to classify the severity of the diseases. Strategically, a rule-based threshold approach in real time evaluation is considered for the categorization scheme. Furthermore, a method is proposed to assess severity as an Event of Interest (EOI) from the computed metrics in retrospective. This type of autonomous system for real-time evaluation of patient's condition has the potential to improve individual health through continual monitoring and self- management, as well as improve the health status of the overall Smart and Connected Community (SCC).

Symptoms of COPD can be classified as primary or systemic. Primary symptoms relate to reduced airflow, while systemic or extrapulmonary symptoms relate to COPD's broader impact on the body.
