Problems solved by technology

As a result, parents do not track children's symptoms enough to intervene early during periods of change and / or deterioration in health status
[0006] The second problem is that parents are often able to accurately recall symptoms within a day or two, but cannot accurately recall symptoms from the previous period
In addition, parents of children with asthma wish to provide clinicians with correct and objective information about the child's symptoms, which is difficult in the manner described above
[0009] Also, for adults with asthma, it can sometimes be difficult to accurately track symptoms and interact early to prevent any exacerbations

Embodiment Construction

[0072] In the following, several embodiments of systems and methods for monitoring asthma symptoms in a subject will be described. It should be understood that features of the embodiments to be described hereinafter can be combined among the embodiments and can be implemented in the same system.

[0073] figure 1 A block diagram of a system 10 for monitoring asthma symptoms in a subject 12 is schematically shown. System 10 includes several elements that will be described below. Although these units are shown as separate units, it should be understood that some or all of these units may be integrated into each other, meaning that one or more of these units can perform the functions of other units. These units may be configured as hardware, software and / or firmware.

[0074] System 10 includes a monitoring unit 14 . The monitoring unit 14 is configured to monitor the subject 12 for at least one objective asthma symptom. Objective asthma symptoms are asthma symptoms that can...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a system for monitoring asthma symptoms of a subject (12), comprising a monitoring unit (14) configured to monitor at least one objective asthma symptom of the subject, an analysis unit (16) configured to determine an asthma status of the subject based on the at least one objective asthma symptom monitored by the monitoring unit, a test unit (18) configured to provide a test for collecting subjective asthma symptoms from the subject, if the at least one objective asthma symptom monitored by the monitoring unit (14) has changed in a manner that the change reveals a deterioration of the asthma status of the subject. Further the system comprises a calibration unit (24) configured to calibrate the at least one objective asthma symptom gathered from the subjectwith respect to a calibration test, wherein the calibration unit (24) is arranged to perform calibration at least once during an initial phase of use of the system (10).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a system for monitoring asthma symptoms in a subject. The invention also relates to methods of monitoring asthma symptoms in a subject. Background technique [0002] Asthma is an episodic chronic disease that involves disruption of normal respiratory function. Although asthma affects people of all ages, it is the most common chronic disease in childhood. Asthma treatment is needed to prevent episodes of extreme deterioration in respiratory function that can lead to hospitalization and even death. Asthma treatment requires monitoring of asthma symptoms in a subject with asthma. [0003] In the case of asthmatic children, currently parents usually only have subjective information about the condition of their asthmatic child, for example, information through children's opinions and questionnaires. Careful observation of children regarding asthma medication use and asthma symptoms (such as coughing, wheezing, difficulty...
