Abstract
The CHRONIOUS system is an open-architecture integrated platform aiming at the management of chronic disease patients. The system consists of a body sensor network collecting patient’s vital signals, a Personal Digital Assistance (PDA) for the real-time data analysis based on a Decision Support System (DSS) and a central system for the deeper analysis of patient’s status and data storing. The DSS combines several data sources to decide upon the severity of patient’s current health status. The first pilot study has been designed and carried out using patients suffering from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease(COPD). The DSS facilitates a one-against-all multi-class Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification system. The performance of the categorization scheme provides high classification results for most of the patient’s health status levels. The involvement of a larger number of patients might increase further the performance of the system.
