Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and asthma each represent a large proportion of the global disease burden; COPD is the third leading cause of death worldwide and asthma is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases, afflicting over 300 million people. Much of this burden is concentrated in the developing world, where patients lack access to physicians trained in the diagnosis of pulmonary disease. As a result, these patients experience high rates of underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis. To address this need, we present a mobile platform capable of screening for Asthma and COPD. Our solution is based on a mobile smart phone and consists of an electronic stethoscope, a peak flow meter application, and a patient questionnaire. This data is combined with a machine learning algorithm to identify patients with asthma and COPD. To test and validate the design, we collected data from 119 healthy and sick participants using our custom mobile application and ran the analysis on a PC computer. For comparison, all subjects were examined by an experienced pulmonologist using a full pulmonary testing laboratory. Employing a two-stage logistic regression model, our algorithms were first able to identify patients with either asthma or COPD from the general population, yielding an ROC curve with an AUC of 0.95. Then, after identifying these patients, our algorithm was able to distinguish between patients with asthma and patients with COPD, yielding an ROC curve with AUC of 0.97. This work represents an important milestone towards creating a self-contained mobile phone-based platform that can be used for screening and diagnosis of pulmonary disease in many parts of the world.
