RespDoc: a new clinical decision support system for childhood asthma management based on Fraction of Exhaled Nitric Oxide (FeNO) measurements.

The use of Fraction of Exhaled Nitric Oxide (FeNO) for measurement of inflammation in the respiratory system is a good way to assess the level of asthma in children. In this paper we present a new Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) for Childhood Asthma Management based on FeNO, which is named RespDoc. The core of RespDoc is a decision making algorithm and a patient's monitoring process that are extensively analyzed in the paper. The performance of RespDoc is tested through the process and assessment of archived patients' data.
