The present disclosure pertains to a system for facilitating configuration modifications for a patient interface computer system based on an equivalent effort parameter. In some embodiments, the system obtains (i) one or more first measurements associated with a first subject, the first subject having a clinical coefficient, (ii) one or more second measurements associated with a second subject. The system determines (i) a first effort parameter based on the one or more first measurements, (ii) a second effort parameter based on the one or more second measurements, and (iii) an equivalent effort factor for the first subject based on the one or more first measurements, the one or more second measurements, and the clinical coefficient. The system causes a configuration of the patient interface computer system to be modified based on the equivalent effort factor.

Modifying a patient interface computer system based on an equivalent effort parameter

An apparatus comprises an activity monitor for measuring physical activity of a subject. The activity monitor is configured to obtain a first set of physical activity data over a first time period, for example during the day, and a second set of physical activity data over a second time period, for example during the night. A processor processes the data obtained by the activity monitor to calculate a physical activity ratio which is the ratio of the physical activity measured during the first time period to the physical activity measured in the second time period. The processor also calculates a first overall value which represents an activity level of the subject during the first time period. The physical activity ratio together with the first overall value may be used to assess the severity of symptoms of COPD displayed by a subject or to identify respiratory disease comorbidity information for example psychological issues such as low motivation, or sleep quality issues displayed by the subject.

Apparatus and method for monitoring disease progression in a subject

The present invention relates to an apparatus, a system (), a method (), and a computer program for assessing the risk of an exacerbation and/or hospitalization. A patient's physical activity is measured (e.g., by an accelerometer ()) during an active period of time (e.g., during awake hours) and during a rest period of time (e.g., during sleep hours) to gather first and second activity data. A risk of exacerbation and/or hospitalization is assessed (e.g., by a risk assessment unit ()) based on an expression involving the respective activity data during active and rest periods fulfilling a predetermined relationship with respect to a predetermined activity level. For instance, low activity data during active periods and high activity data during rest periods indicates an increased risk of exacerbation and/or hospital readmission for the patient.
