BODE INDEX MEASUREMENT

摘要

A computer-implemented system and method for determining a BODE index value for a patient is provided. The method includes using a Body Mass Index (BMI) measuring device to obtain BMI data. An airway obstruction measuring device measures airway obstruction of the patient to obtain airway obstruction data. A respiration rate sensor measures a respiration rate of the patient and to obtain respiration rate data. An activity monitor measures physical activity of the patient and to obtain physical activity data. A processor executes a computer program module to determine the BODE index value for the patient based on the Body Mass Index data, the airway obstruction data, the respiration rate data, and the physical activity data.
