Smart Monitoring System for Chronic Respiratory Diseases

Abstract

<pre>The Intelligent Monitoring System is an integrated solution for managing and monitoring chronic respiratory diseases. It combines a patient-facing mobile application with a platform dedicated to healthcare professionals, enabling continuous monitoring and collaborative management. The system collects physiological parameters—such as heart rate, oxygen saturation (SpO₂), and electrocardiogram (ECG) and photoplethysmogram (PPG) signals—using smartwatch sensors. It also records lung sounds via an electronic stethoscope and measures environmental data (air quality, temperature, and humidity) using specialized sensors and a public API. A smart inhaler is integrated to guide patients in its use, thereby boosting treatment adherence and ensuring greater therapeutic efficacy. By leveraging Edge AI, the system predicts key parameters like respiratory rate and analyzes lung sounds directly within the mobile app to detect respiratory abnormalities. Relying on edge computing, it offers real-time processing, reducing cloud dependency while maintaining high accuracy. The system helps patients quickly recognize critical symptoms, monitor vital signs and environmental triggers, and track treatment adherence. Data is shared instantly and securely with healthcare professionals via the platform, facilitating rapid interventions and reducing the need for emergency care. By integrating these features, the system promotes proactive respiratory disease management, prevents exacerbations, and improves patients' quality of life.< / pre>
