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 paper focuses on the practicality of using smartphone applications for continuous cough monitoring in patients with presumptive tuberculosis (TB) in various low- and middle-income countries.
Key findings and aspects of the study include:
The research concluded that continuous cough monitoring using a smartphone application is a feasible approach in low- and middle-income countries. This study provides valuable insights into the feasibility of using digital tools for health monitoring in diverse settings and could have implications for the management and diagnosis of TB and other respiratory diseases.
