Monitoring Coughs for the Early Detection of Worsening COPD
Condition(s) studied
Study summary
This study is for adults with COPD. Flare-ups of COPD, also known as exacerbations, can be serious and lead to hospital stays. The purpose of this research is to see if continuously and automatically monitoring a person's coughs can help predict these flare-ups early, before they become severe. Participants will use the Hyfe cough monitoring system, which includes a watch-like device worn on the wrist and a smartphone application. The system privately counts the number of coughs without recording any audio. Participants will also answer a short, weekly questionnaire about their COPD symptoms. This is an observational study, which means it will not change the regular medical care a participant receives. The participants and their care providers will not see the cough counts. The doctor will continue to manage their COPD as usual.

- Predictive accuracy of Hyfe cough monitoring for COPD exacerbations — Up to 1 year
