Inferring COPD Severity from Tidal Breathing [PDF]
Objective: To develop an algorithm that can infer the severity level of a COPD patient's airflow limitation from tidal breathing data that is collected by a wearable device. Methods: Data was collected from 25 single visit adult volunteers with a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Novel Subtypes of Pulmonary Emphysema Based on Spatially-Informed Lung Texture Learning [PDF]
Pulmonary emphysema overlaps considerably with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and is traditionally subcategorized into three subtypes previously identified on autopsy. Unsupervised learning of emphysema subtypes on computed tomography (CT) opens the way to new definitions of emphysema subtypes and eliminates the need of thorough manual ...

Sustained Vowels for Pre- vs Post-Treatment COPD Classification [PDF]
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a serious inflammatory lung disease affecting millions of people around the world. Due to an obstructed airflow from the lungs, it also becomes manifest in patients' vocal behaviour. Of particular importance is the detection of an exacerbation episode, which marks an acute phase and often requires ...
