Method for treating a patient with respiratory illness

Abstract

A method for treating a patient with respiratory illness is described according to one embodiment. The method includes the steps of receiving a set of screening spirometry test data measured by a spirometer, generating a first patient performance score based on the received set of screening spirometry test data, generating one of a first high alert when the first patient performance score crosses a first threshold and a first low alert when the first patient performance score fails to cross the first threshold, receiving a set of at-home physiological test data, generating a second patient performance score based on the received set of at-home physiological test data, generating one of a second high alert when the second patient performance score crosses a second threshold and a second low alert when the second patient performance score fails to cross the second threshold, receiving a set of at-home patient survey data entered by the patient, generating a third patient performance score based on the received set of at-home patient survey data, and generating one of a third high alert when the third patient performance score crosses a third threshold and a third low alert when the third patient performance score fails to cross the third threshold.
