Cough Intensity: A Novel Measure of Cough Burden
This whitepaper explores an important but historically under-measured dimension of cough burden: cough intensity. While cough frequency is the traditional metric used to objectively measure cough burden, it is limited in its ability to capture only how often a patient coughs and not the qualitative dimensions of those coughs such as how burdensome or forceful […]
Data Processing Architectures for Cough Monitoring: The Case for Cloud Processing
This whitepaper highlights an important yet often overlooked aspect of cough monitoring: the data processing architecture that supports how cough events are detected and reported in clinical trials. As pharmaceutical sponsors increasingly include cough as a digital endpoint in clinical trials, the choice between edge processing (analysis on-device in real-time, typically by machine learning) and […]
