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 was a prospective cohort study carried out in Pamplona (Spain) between 2020 and 2021 using artificial intelligence cough detection software (followed 616 participants and collected >62 000 coughs). Changes in cough frequency around the time of medical consultation were evaluated using a randomisation routine; significance was tested by comparing the distribution of cough frequencies to that obtained from a model of no difference. The correlation between changes of cough frequency and COVID-19 incidence was studied using an autoregressive moving average analysis, and its strength determined by calculating its autocorrelation function (ACF). Predictors for the regular use of the system were studied using a linear regression. Overall user experience was evaluated using a satisfaction questionnaire and through focused group discussions.
