Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease monitoring device

A method for controlling operation of processing circuitry of a medical system, the method comprising:

• determining, by a medical device, a plurality of signals indicative of physical quantities of the patient;
• processing, by the processing circuitry, the plurality of signals indicative of physical quantities of the patient to determine a plurality of physiological parameters of the patient;
• comparing, by the processing circuitry, the plurality of physiological parameters of the patient to an N-dimensional model, where N is equal to a count of the plurality of physiological parameters, to determine a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)-exacerbation risk score;
• determining, by the processing circuitry, whether the COPD-exacerbation risk score satisfies a threshold;
• and
• generating, by the processing circuitry, an indication for output that is based at least in part on the COPD-exacerbation risk score satisfying the threshold.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions, which, when executed, cause processing circuitry to:

• determine a plurality of signals indicative of physical quantities of a patient;
• process the plurality of signals indicative of physical quantities of the patient to determine a plurality of physiological parameters of the patient;
• compare the plurality of physiological parameters of the patient to the N-dimensional model to determine a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)-exacerbation risk score, where N is equal to a count of the plurality of physiological parameters;
• determine whether the COPD-exacerbation risk score satisfies a threshold;
• and
• generate an indication for output that is based at least in part on the COPD-exacerbation risk score satisfying the threshold.
