Non-invasive system for monitoring and treating respiratory distress

A system for monitoring and treating respiratory distress in a patient, comprising:

• one or more non-invasive monitoring devices configured to acquire patient condition signals indicative of a state of the respiratory distress;
• and
• a respiratory distress monitoring circuit figured to be communicatively coupled to the one or more non-invasive monitoring devices and to monitor the state of the respiratory distress using the patient condition signals, the respiratory distress monitoring circuit including:
• a signal processing circuit configured to process the patient condition signals and to generate patient condition parameters indicative of the state of the respiratory distress using the patient condition signals;
• and
• a respiratory distress analyzer including a parameter analysis circuit and a notification circuit, the parameter analysis circuit configured to produce a patient condition metric being a linear or nonlinear function of the patient condition parameters and to perform at least one of prediction or detection of an exacerbation of the respiratory distress based on the patient condition metric, the notification circuit configured to produce an alert notifying a result of the performance of the at least one of prediction or detection.
