At CHEST 2025, held in Chicago, Illinois, Laurie Slovarp, PhD, CCC-SLP, professor at the University of Montana and certified speech pathologist, presented a poster on the development of a digital therapeutic designed to improve access to behavioral cough suppression therapy for patients with refractory chronic cough.
A large-scale trial examining the effect of azithromycin on the relationship between oesophageal function and cough as evaluated by Hyfe's cough monitoring technology in respiratory disease is feasible and acceptable to patients.
This study used Hyfe's wearable cough monitor during a 7-day run in, 28-day treatment, and 14-day follow-up period in patients with chronic bronchitis.
Periods of intense coughing (termed bouts, epochs or bursts) are particularly problematic for some coughers and may not be reflected by simply counting the number of coughs per day. This study explored how varying the definition of bouts yield different impressions of cough severity.

The most commonly employed method of cough monitoring in clinical trials quantifies cough over 24 hour periods pre and post interventions. However, because cough is stochastic, intermittent measures of cough may not accurately reflect longer term trends. Hyfe consumer cough tracking apps use acoustic AI to continually and passively monitor coughing. We reviewed cough data from app users with persistent cough, applied novel statistical methods to demonstrate the day-to-day variability of the cough count and derived scores that quantifies how well any given day predicts longer term trends.
