Why the RESP® Biosensor System?
Privacy & Security
Incorporates end-to-end encryption and speech obfuscation to preserve patient privacy.
Accelerated Data Turnaround
Cloud-based syncs from paired mobile phone allow for remote data uploads, streamlining data reporting and overread process.
High Fidelity Device
FDA 510(k) cleared device trusted for clinical trials, with the ability to distinguish subject coughs from external coughs.
Patient-Friendly
Wireless, lightweight biosensor secured by a gentle and breathable adhesive.
Comprehensive Insights
Collects a robust combination of data to effectively measure cough severity and provide a more complete respiratory picture.
*For investigational use only
More Than a Cough Monitor
Using a combination of audio and motion data, the RESP Biosensor unlocks valuable insight across multiple indications, offering a more complete picture of subjects’ respiratory status and health-related quality of life alongside PROs.

Flexible Reporting—Automated or Human Annotation
- Strados Labs’ trained and qualified annotation team identifies and counts cough and lung sound events from subject recordings to meet clinical trial endpoint requirements.
- Machine learning algorithms* for automated cough detection are also available for applications such as high-volume screening or exploratory endpoints.
*Machine learning algorithms not FDA-cleared
Visual spectrograms of lung sound events facilitate overread for trained annotators

Patient-Friendly Form Factor
- The RESP Biosensor offers an unobtrusive, wireless form factor to reduce patient burden in clinical trials.
- 3M Tegaderm dressing, gentle and breathable, is used to adhere biosensor to chest
- Discreet design helps ensure patients behave naturally, capturing authentic symptom data that mirrors real-life conditions and minimizes the Hawthorne effect.
