Abstract

A computer-implemented method of assisting in diagnosis, therapy, follow-up and/or monitoring of a functional lung disease comprises entering patient demographic data, determining predicted lung function parameters from these demographic data, obtaining lung function measurement data from a spriometry measurement of the patient's lung function, and determining a diagnosis proposal dependent on the demographic data, the predicted and the measured lung function parameters of the patient. The present invention gives a physician, a health manager or the patient himself/herself assistance in the correct diagnosis of a functional lung disease and checking or evaluating an earlier diagnosis and treatment strategies based thereon. The invention helps to find suitable treatment strategies for an individual patient and also allows an early detection of a functional lung disease even if the patient does not yet show corresponding symptoms.
