NCT ID NCT05989698
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a wearable device called the C-mo System that automatically detects and describes coughs. Researchers want to see if it can accurately count coughs, measure their intensity, and identify wheezing. 300 people aged 2 and older with cough-related conditions will wear the device for 24 hours and complete diaries and questionnaires.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- C-mo System wearable device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this device could give doctors a reliable, automatic way to track coughs, helping to better diagnose and manage lung conditions.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early validation study, not a treatment trial. The device may not be accurate enough in real-world conditions, and results may not apply to all patients.
