Patent ID: 8231541

Claim:
An assessment system for assessing the asthma status of a patient, comprising: a data processing system; an environmental data capture system communicatively coupled with the data processing system, wherein the environmental data capture system is configured to capture environmental sensor data and generate sensor-based environmental data in a form usable by the data processing system based at least in part on the environmental sensor data; and an asthma data output system communicatively coupled with the data processing system, wherein the data processing system is configured to receive the sensor-based environmental data from the environmental data capture system, generate an asthma status score and a confidence rating for the asthma status score based at least in part on sensor-based environmental data and output the asthma status score and the confidence rating to the asthma data output system, wherein the confidence rating is generated based on at least one of a comparison of an actual number of parameters used to generate the asthma status score with a predefined number of parameters or a comparison of an actual change rate for the asthma status score with a predefined change rate, and wherein the asthma data output system is configured to display the asthma status score and the confidence rating.
