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.
This abstract focuses on using cough audio recordings and related metadata to predict tuberculosis (TB). This study involves collecting cough sounds from individuals and analyzing various characteristics of these sounds alongside metadata. The aim is to determine patterns or indicators that are specific to TB, thus enabling early and non-invasive diagnosis. This approach would represent a significant advancement in TB diagnosis, offering a more accessible and potentially cost-effective method compared to traditional diagnostic techniques. The research's outcome could have substantial implications for TB detection, particularly in regions where access to medical facilities is limited.
