Abstract

A system (200) for providing an exercise training plan for a patient is provided. The system includes a sensor (202, 204, 206, 208, 210, 212), and a processor (214) operatively connected to the at least one sensor. The sensor measures physiological parameter of the patient. The processor is configured to: a) receive health information data representative of patient information and patient symptoms; b) receive physiological data from the at least one sensor; c) devise the exercise training plan for the patient based on the health information data and the physiological data; d) monitor the physiological data, during the exercise training of the patient to determine if the physiological data is within a predetermined range; and e) modify the exercise training plan for the patient if the physiological data is outside the predetermined range.

Claims

1. A system for providing an exercise training plan for a patient, the system comprising:

a sensor configured to generate output signals conveying information related to physiological data from the patient, wherein the physiological data comprises a level of SpO₂; and

a processor operatively connected to the sensor and configured to;

a) receive health information data from the patient, the health information data representative of patient information and/or patient symptoms,

b) receive the physiological data from the sensor,

c) devise an exercise training plan for the patient based on the health information data and the physiological data,

d) monitor the physiological data, during the exercise training of the patient, to determine if the physiological data is within a predetermined range, and

e) modify the exercise training plan for the patient responsive to the SpO₂ level being outside the predetermined range.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to measure the physiological data after the exercise training of the patient and to determine if the physiological data after the exercise training is within the predetermined range.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the processor is further configured to modify the exercise training plan for the patient if the physiological data is outside the predetermined range.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the patient information comprises one or more of the patient'"'"'s gender, age, weight, smoking history, or height.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the patient symptoms comprise one or more of dyspnea (or shortness of breath), cough, wheezing, mucus or sputum production, chest tightness, or fatigue.

18. The system of claim 1, wherein the physiological data further comprises additional physiological data, the additional physiological data comprising one or more of physical activity data, respiration rate data, heart rate data, body temperature data, or airway obstruction data.

19. The system of claim 18, wherein modification of the exercise training plan for the patient if further based on the additional physiological data.

20. The system of claim 18, wherein the airway obstruction data is generated using a spirometer.

6-10. -10. (canceled)

11. A computer implemented method for providing an exercise training plan for a patient, wherein the method is implemented in a computer system comprising a processor configured to execute a computer programs modules, the method comprising:

generating output signals conveying information related to physiological data from the patient, wherein the physiological data comprises a level of SpO₂;

receiving health information data from the patient, the health information data representative of patient information and/or patient symptoms;

devising an exercise training plan for the patient based on the health information data and the physiological data;

monitoring the physiological data during exercise training of the patient to determine if the physiological data are within a predetermined range; and

modifying the exercise training plan for the patient responsive to the SpO₂ level being outside the predetermined range.

12. The method of claim 11, further comprising monitoring the physiological data after the exercise training of the patient to determine if the physiological data are within the predetermined range.

13. The method of claim 12, further comprising modifying the exercise training plan for the patient if the physiological data is outside the predetermined range.

14. The method of claim 11, wherein the patient information comprises one or more of the patient'"'"'s gender, age, weight, smoking history, or height.

21. The method of claim 11, wherein the physiological data further comprises additional physiological data, the additional physiological data comprising one or more of physical activity data, respiration rate data, heart rate data, body temperature data, or airway obstruction data.

22. The method of claim 21, wherein modification of the exercise training plan for the patient is further based on the additional physiological data.

23. The method of claim 21, wherein the airway obstruction data is generated using a spirometer.
