Testing a wearable device that automatically detects and measures cough

Researchers are testing a wearable device called the C-mo System that's designed to automatically detect when you cough and measure how severe or intense your cough is. The device also tries to identify what type of cough you have and whether wheezing is present. This study will help researchers understand whether this new monitoring tool works accurately in real patients with different types of cough.

Many people with chronic cough struggle to track how often and how severely they're coughing, which makes it hard for doctors to measure whether treatments are working. This device could provide an objective, automatic way to measure cough that's more accurate than relying on patients to remember and report their symptoms.
