Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Breathing registration in sleep using electromyographyFrom admittance to the ward, up to 12 hoursAmplitude of the EMG signal will be used to obtain breathing waveforms.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Prediction of asthma exacerbationsAfter inclusion of all subjects, up to 3 monthsA machine learning model will be applied to be able to predict an asthma exacerbation before it occurs
