Dynamic Threshold Analysis of Daily Oxygen Saturation for Improved Management of COPD Patients.

This study presents a novel dynamic threshold algorithm that is applied to daily self-measured SpO2 data for management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients in remote patient monitoring to improve accuracy of detection of exacerbation. Conventional approaches based on a fixed threshold applied to a single SpO2 reading to detect deterioration in patient condition are known to ha...
