Cough bouts are one of the most disruptive symptoms reported by patients across cough-related diseases—yet traditional metrics based solely on cough counts may miss a critical piece of the puzzle. In this new analysis of over 200,000 coughs captured using the RESP™ Biosensor, we found that coughs within bouts were not only more frequent but also significantly more intense than isolated coughs. Given that cough intensity (amplitude) correlates with patient-perceived severity, these findings suggest a new, objective way to quantify the burden of cough beyond frequency alone.
