Validation and accuracy of the Hyfe cough monitoring system: a multicenter clinical study - Scientific Reports Scientific Reports - Validation and accuracy of the Hyfe cough monitoring system: a multicenter clinical study

In over 500 hours of monitoring that included nearly 4,500 coughs, @hyfe.com 's CoughMonitor approached human-level accuracy detecting coughs in everyday acoustic environments. In @nature.com : www.nature.com/articles/s41...

✨ Hyfe 2024 Wrapped ✨

This year was a breakthrough for cough science and monitoring technology. Hyfe advanced real-world monitoring, supported numerous clinical and research trials, and contributed to key conferences. 2025 is set to bring even greater innovation!

Not all at home or wearable health tools are clinically valid, but patients want to use them and they can be helpful for triage.

These tools can empower patients to be more engaged in their health, a big plus. Now we researchers need to study their utility. Kudos @mlrobertsonmd.bsky.social & team

We've been brainwashed to think that:
"Free" = Good
"Paid" = Betrayal
So, are we being naive? Or are we right to refuse to turn healthcare into a data circus?

Sure, we could make the app "free", where we would:
🔹 Bombard you with ads
🔹 Sell your data faster than you can say "privacy breach"
🔹 Create a doom-scrolling nightmare
But this is a health tool, not a dopamine slot machine.

Building good tech costs money. Building privacy-first, AI-powered health tech? Costs even MORE money.
But sure, we're the villains for not turning your health into a data-harvesting carnival.

Let's break this down. The app in question:

1. Helps you & your dr. understand your cough, objectively (for the first time in history)
2. Protects your data
3. Refuses to serve you throat lozenge NFTs ads

1/ Just got this 1star review for charging $6/month (or $30/ year) for an AI cough detection app. Apparently, half a pumpkin spice latte is TOO MUCH to pay for groundbreaking health tech and good reason to "I HATE you".

I would love to speak to folks at Garmin, Fitbit or Samsung Health who are working on biomarkers and/ or health data streams. Anyone here can do any intro?

My watch logs every cough in real time. 🕒🫁
Every. Single. Cough.

24/ 7

Evaluating cough used to be guesswork. Now it's data-driven, to the millisecond: no memory gaps, no assumptions. Just real-time insights into respiratory health.

AI-enabled cough monitoring provides objective, continuous data—shifting the paradigm from self-reported symptoms to quantifiable health insights.

Implications for healthcare as well as life sciences are vast. #CoughScience #ClinicalTrials

What is the consensus under these here blue skies? Are we using hashtags or are we not using hashtags?

Cough and Congestive Heart Failure AI-powered cough monitoring transforms congestive heart failure management by enabling early detection of cardiac cough, reducing hospital readmissions, and enhancing patient care through continuous, ...

The potential of AI in cough monitoring extends beyond respiratory diseases. Acoustic biomarkers can play a role in detecting and managing systemic conditions like congestive heart failure #HealthTech #CoughAI

Cough data is severely underutilized in clinical research.

Studies using @hyfe.com technology show AI can detect subtle changes in cough patterns correlating with respiratory disease onset, among others.

As senses go, the human hearing is REALLY weak.

Even basic technology vastly surpasses us in hearing performance.

Technology can already "listen" for signal in the sounds of our bodies. This, coupled with AI is redefining clinical evaluation of respiratory conditions.

Respiratory disease, most of which feature coughing as a primary symptom, are a leading cause of death globally, with COPD and lower respiratory infections being major contributors.

Simply monitoring cough can prevent 50% of COPD exacerbations 🤯

www.hyfe.com/white-papers...

Even subtle changes in cough frequency can indicate the onset of respiratory conditions such as asthma, COPD, or even lung cancer, often before other symptoms manifest.

Imagine being able to predict risk of disease simply by counting coughs with something like @coughpro.bsky.social

Our latest white paper examines how heart rate changes during coughing can offer new ways to monitor health.

By combining heart and respiratory data, we can better understand the impact of coughing on the body, especially for people with chronic conditions.

Chronic cough as a disease Chronic cough is a frequent reason for medical consultation and has significant impact on quality of life. Due to the limited effectiveness of currently available treatments, and delays in accessing care, patients are often inadequately managed. There remains an overreliance by clinicians on outdated management algorithms, addressing chronic cough only as symptom of other medical conditions, and advocating investigation and trials of treatment of diseases which are often not present. This may lead to unnecessary cost, frustration and potential harm. Newer clinical guidelines in essence consider chronic cough as a disease in itself, resulting from afferent neuronal hypersensitivity and central nervous system dysfunction. Secondary factors which aggravate chronic cough (smoking, asthma, gastro-oesophageal reflux, etc.) are better considered as treatable traits associated with the primary disease process rather than direct “causes” of cough.Explicitly approaching chronic cough as a discrete entity is consistent with the way in which “diseases” are generally characterised, and has advantages. The patient should be better able to understand their condition, and may have better confidence in attempts at management. The clinician should have better focus and avoid unfruitful treatments and investigation. In general, considering chronic cough as a disease should help to raise the profile of the condition, improve organisation of health service pathways, increase attention for research, and further the development of new treatments.

Chronic cough is a well known symptom, yet it can be a disease on its own, too! More about it 👇

Approaching chronic cough as a disease should sharpen focus, increase understanding and improve patient outcomes.

And now that we can measure cough, this is now revealing powerful signals contained in cough frequency profiles which also allows us to pioneer cough suppression therapy methods that are fully digital and do not contain ANY molecules at all. www.hyfe.com/digital-ther...

Well, thanks to pioneering work done by the likes of
@hyfe-com.bsky.social , for the first time ever, doctors, researchers and even regular coughers can objectively track their cough.

Exactly the same way they'd track temperature or weight or blood pressure or glucose.

The MAIN reason why cough science has not progressed much is simple: we never knew how to measure coughing.

Alas, Without quantification it is very hard to do rigorous science.

Imagine we would have no way to measure temperature or blood pressure or glucose.

What I am saying is cough medicine is a most fascinating corner of modern medicine in that it is not actually modern at all.

Our understanding of cough has progressed very little since the days when "doctors" would pump morphine and alcohol into children and noting a curious decrease of coughing.

The only thing we know is that most people who take these drugs REPORT that they cough slightly less. But that's the extent of it. The medical euphemism is "the exact mechanism is not fully understood"

To add insult to injury, we don't even know how exactly these compounds work and what is the mechanism through which they suppress cough - such as they do.

In fact we don't even know for sure that they do or don't supress cough (that is a topic for another thread)
