Abstract

By 2030 it has been predicted that Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) will affect, on a global scale, over 64 million people and will be the third leading cause of death worldwide. This work discusses the development of a self-management system that records physiological and contextual information via a smartphone, a wrist worn accelerometer for measuring activity and a chest worn device for monitoring patterns of respiration. The data recorded through this system facilitates analysis to identify changes in the patterns of the bio-signals and may pave the way for advice to be offered regarding the self-management of this long-term condition. Feedback relating to specific activity goals that can be set and monitored will be provided to the user as part of the self-management solution
