Researchers want to know if a special device placed in a child's bedroom at night can accurately measure how often they cough while sleeping. Coughing is one of the first signs that a child with cystic fibrosis may be getting sicker, but counting coughs by ear is hard and unreliable. This study will help doctors understand whether home cough monitoring could become a useful tool to catch problems early.
Even when children with cystic fibrosis are treated with effective medications, coughing remains a major symptom and often signals the start of a serious lung infection. If researchers can prove that home cough monitoring works reliably in children, it could help doctors spot problems sooner and change treatment plans before things get worse.

Your child will wear or sleep near a small audio monitoring device in your home at night for a set period. The device quietly records sound and automatically detects coughs—you won't need to count or report them yourself. Researchers will compare your child's cough patterns with those of healthy children to see if the device works reliably and if cough frequency relates to how well your child's lungs are working.
