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 paper focuses on evaluating the consistency and accuracy of human annotators in labeling cough sounds, as well as examining sex differences in cough characteristics. The study is important for developing reliable methods to quantify coughs, which is essential for improving cough monitoring systems.
Key aspects of the study include:
