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 (), system (), method (), and computer program for distinguishing between active and inactive time periods of a subject. An input unit () receives time-dependent activity data () (e.g., corresponding to a level of activity). An activity threshold providing unit () provides an activity threshold () for the subject. An activity assessment unit () classifies the time-dependent activity data () based on the activity threshold (). The activity threshold providing unit () provides the activity threshold () individually for said subject. The present invention provides an approach to patient-tailor the activity threshold () for periods of activity and inactivity.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the growing chronic respiratory diseases and is now a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Acute exacerbations have a negative impact on health related quality of life of COPD patients, survival rates, pulmonary function and utilization of health-care resources. The present application discloses an apparatus (), system (), method (), and computer program for assessing a risk of an exacerbation and/or hospitalization of a subject. To this extent, time-dependent activity data is Fourier-transformed to frequency space to obtain frequency-dependent activity data. Next, a moment of said frequency-dependent activity data is computed. Finally, a risk of said exacerbation and/or hospitalization of said subject to occur is assessed based on said moment.
