First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a smartwatch app called Hyfe can accurately count how often people cough. Researchers compared the app's cough counts to manual counts from audio recordings in 31 adults with various cough-related conditions. The goal is to see if the smartwatch can be a reliable tool for monitoring cough at home.
