Hyfe pilot study tests a digital therapeutic combining passive cough monitoring with behavioral suppression techniques delivered through the CoughPro app.
This narrative review by Hyfe's R&D team makes the case that continuous cough monitoring (CCM), powered by acoustic AI, transforms cough from a subjective symptom into a quantifiable digital biomarker.
Independent ERS 2025 NeuroCOUGH trial uses the Hyfe Cough Tracker to test feasibility of studying azithromycin's effect on cough and oesophageal motility.
Independent ERS 2025 trial uses the Hyfe Cough Tracker to show azithromycin reduces objective cough frequency by week one in chronic respiratory disease.

Until recently technology has lagged behind the need for effective cough monitoring solutions. Now, with the parallel rise of smartphone use and machine learning analytics, half the world's population is already carrying a device that can fundamentally change our approach to the global crisis in respiratory health.
Each year, respiratory diseases such as tuberculosis, COPD, lung cancer, asthma, and now COVID-19 takemillions of lives and disrupt or disable hundreds of millions more. The global burden of these diseases is expectedto increase as developing nations industrialize, and the need to track and respond to that spread grows evermoreurgent. These diseases share a common syndrome, coughing, the characteristics of which allow physicians todiagnose and monitor the course of respiratory illnesses. The medical value of cough tracking has long beenrecognized as a critically important tool in patient care and public health, but until recently technology has laggedbehind the need for effective cough monitoring solutions. Now, with the parallel rise of smartphone use andmachine learning analytics, half the world’s population is already carrying the device that can fundamentallychange our approach to the global crisis in respiratory health. Smartphones offer the ideal platform for a scalable,effective, and smart cough monitoring tool.
