Heart Rate as an Indicator of Cough Severity

White paper on the connection between heart rate and cough severity. Integrating cardiovascular and respiratory metrics offers new possibilities for patient monitoring, clinical trials, and health technology innovation.

The importance of prolonged cough monitoring: Data-driven evidence for a 7-day standard

7-day continuous cough monitoring outperforms 24-hour methods. Hyfe white paper presents data-driven evidence showing how prolonged monitoring provides more reliable insights for clinical trials and research studies, offering a new standard in understanding cough variability

Other People’s Coughs: Challenges and Perspectives in Remote Cough Monitoring Using Wearable Devices

Exploring advanced machine learning models as solutions to the "Other Peoples Cough Problem" - distinguishing user coughs from others in shared environments.

Cost-benefit analysis of at-home COPD monitoring

Explores the cost-effectiveness of at-home monitoring for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) exacerbations using a cough monitoring system. It highlights the significant economic burden COPD imposes on healthcare systems, especially through acute exacerbations that often lead to costly hospitalizations.

It’s a bout time: cough bouts as a measure of severity

Explores the complexities of defining and measuring cough bouts using continuous monitoring technology. It highlights the inadequacies of traditional definitions and emphasizes the need for patient-centered metrics to better capture the severity and impact of chronic coughing on individuals' quality of life.

Cough monitoring for cutting-edge research

Cough is now measurable longitudinally and continuously, whilst patients go about their daily life. For the first time ever, researchers can learn about cough over time, offering valuable insights for the benefit of healthcare.
