Defining an Architecture for a Coaching Module to Support Self-Monitoring of Chronic Obstructive Respiratory Diseases.

Over time there has been an increase of the number of people affected by chronic obstructive respiratory diseases, burdening healthcare providers. Following the growth of information technologies, it has been sought the development of innovative solutions that help monitoring and treating patients. In this work is proposed the architecture for a coaching module to be integrated in the system developed by the PHE project. With the goal to improve patients' health condition by providing innovative and intelligent measuring and monitoring tools for preventive healthcare and allow affordable solutions with increased patient involvement. With this work, we define the architecture for a module that can generate recommendations adapted to each patient. By doing so, we believe to be possible to motivate the adoption of behaviors that benefit the health condition of the patient and decrease the risk of complications associated to the disease.
