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.
This ERS 2025 abstract from Hyfe's R&D team validates the wear-detection algorithm built into the Hyfe CoughMonitor smartwatch against participant-reported wear status across 418 person-hours of data in ten participants.
Authored by Hyfe's R&D team, this review synthesizes work presented at the European Respiratory Society Congress 2025 and argues that objective cough monitoring has crossed a practical threshold, moving from experimental technique to deployable clinical endpoint.
This study asked whether the core components of BCST could be embedded in a digital therapeutic and paired with continuous, objective cough monitoring inside the CoughPro app.

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.
