Abstract

The objective of this work is the design of a technological platform for remote monitoring of patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The concept of the framework is a breakthrough in the state of medical, scientific and technological art, aimed at engaging patients in the treatment plan and supporting interaction with healthcare professionals. The proposed platform is able to support a new paradigm for the management of patients with COPD, by integrating clinical data and parameters monitored in daily life using Artificial Intelligence algorithms. Therefore, the doctor is provided with a dynamic picture of the disease and its impact on lifestyle and vice versa, and can thus plan more personalized diagnostics, therapeutics, and social interventions. This strategy allows for a more effective organization of access to outpatient care and therefore a reduction of emergencies and hospitalizations because exacerbations of the disease can be better prevented and monitored. Hence, it can result in improvements in patients’ quality of life and lower costs for the healthcare system.
