The present invention provides systems and methods for monitoring subjects, especially during sleep. Respiratory and sound data are recorded and coughs arousal are recognized as joint events in both of these signals having selected characteristics. Further, cough-arousal events during sleep are recognized when a likely cough occurs in association with a recognized EEG arousal. Cough arousal events are combined into a cough arousal index that reflects disease severity and sleep disruption due to cough. The methods of this invention are computer-implemented and can be provided as a program product including a computer readable medium. Measurements and indices provided by this invention can be used to monitor and to treat respiratory diseases.

La présente invention concerne des systèmes et procédés permettant de surveiller des sujets, particulièrement pendant le sommeil. En l'occurrence, on enregistre des données respiratoires et sonores, ce qui permet, grâce à des caractéristiques sélectionnées, de reconnaître les réveils par toux comme événements connexes dans ces deux signaux. En outre, les réveils par toux sont reconnus quand une toux vraisemblable se produit en association avec un réveil reconnu à l'électroencéphalogramme. Les événements de réveil par toux sont combinés en un indicateur de réveil par toux caractéristique de la gravité de la maladie et de l'interruption du sommeil en raison de la toux. Les procédés de l'invention, qui sont informatisés, sont réalisables sous forme de progiciel comportant un support informatique. Les mesures et les indicateurs établis au moyen de l'invention conviennent à la surveillance et au traitement d'affections respiratoires.
