NCT ID NCT05042063
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a smartphone app called Hyfe Cough Tracker to see if it can accurately count coughs in people with lung conditions like COPD, asthma, or COVID-19. Researchers compared the app's cough counts to patients' own reports and expert listening. The goal was to improve how doctors monitor and manage cough-related diseases.

Who is studied
For the main study group, the population are patients with respiratory disease treated in the Clínica Universidad de Navarra (Pamplona and Madrid campuses). Since the validation sub-study 1 only requires elicited sounds, a group of participants from a previous study will be directly invited to participate. For the validation sub-study 2, participants will include both, inpatients admitted to the Clínica Universidad de Navarra and presenting cough, and healthy individuals directly invited to participate by the study team.
