TLDR
Besides enabling accurate COPD examinations at home, the mCOPD system also offers a video-game based guidance system for breathing exercises, which is a promising tool for remote medical treatment of COPD.Abstract:
COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) is a serious lung disease that causes difficulty in breathing. COPD patients require lung function examinations and perform breathing exercises on a regular basis in order to manage and be more aware of their health status. In this paper, we designed and developed a mobile-phone based system for lung function diagnosis, called mCOPD. Besides enabling accurate COPD examinations at home, the mCOPD system also offers a video-game based guidance system for breathing exercises. We evaluated mCOPD in controlled and uncontrolled environments with 40 subjects. The experimental results show that our system is a promising tool for remote medical treatment of COPD.read more

MobSpiro: Mobile based spirometry for detecting COPD
TL;DR: A model is developed that allows the computation of the two critical parameters FVC and FEV1 by establishing a relationship between the frequency response of human exhalation recorded by mobile microphone and the actual flow rate, which are critical in diagnosing COPD.

Automatic detection and classification of acoustic breathing cycles
Omar Yahya,Miad Faezipour +1 more
TL;DR: This paper focuses on respiratory phase detection and classification without the help of the airflow measurements, and depends on advanced digital signal processing techniques to process the acoustic signal of respiration that was collected using a microphone placed in front of the subject's nose.

Evidence-Based Health Policy--Lessons from the Global Burden of Disease Study
TL;DR: The study, which includes projections of the burden through the year 2020, uses the disability-adjusted life year as a composite measure of years of life lost due to premature mortality and years lived with disability.

Prognosis in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
TL;DR: Patients with low initial values of FEV1 showed relatively little further decline, probably indicating a survivor effect, and mortality in the present series was less than that of a previous series, and the same as that of hypoxemic patients with COPD who received continuous home O2 therapy.
