B-Mo: Human Factor and Design for remote monitoring of COPD patients

Poster presentato in occasione del congresso Forum Risk Management 2022 The management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is still skewed towards intra-hospital acute care. Guidelines indicate early identification and rapid treatment of exacerbations, minimising the impact of ongoing flare-ups and preventing the development of future exacerbations by reducing hospitalisation as priorities. B-MO is the design of a product-service for the gradual remote monitoring of COPD patients, capable of managing exacerbations on an escalation of 3 levels of worsening: mild, moderate and severe. The purpose of the device is in fact to identify any worsening trends in patients' health conditions from daily respiratory tests carried out at home.
