This trial is testing whether a device called Hyfe — which continuously listens for and counts your coughs — can predict when your COPD is about to get worse before you even notice symptoms. Right now, doctors rely mainly on what patients tell them about their symptoms, but this device could give an early warning signal by tracking objective changes in your coughing patterns.
COPD flare-ups are a major problem that lead to hospitalizations and disease progression, but we don't have good ways to predict them early. If this monitoring device can catch warning signs in your cough before you feel really sick, doctors could intervene sooner and help keep you out of the hospital.

You will use the Hyfe cough-monitoring device at home to continuously track how often you cough. You will also fill out a weekly questionnaire about how you're feeling. Your doctor will not see the cough data or questionnaire results during the study — they will make treatment decisions based only on what they observe, so the study results aren't biased. The researchers will compare your cough patterns to when you actually develop a flare-up to see if the device can predict it.
