FOR RESEARCH & CLINICAL TRIALS
RESP® Biosensor
Continuous cough monitoring and lung acoustics for stronger insights in life sciences
FDA 510(k) Class II | CE Mark | HIPAA Compliant
Research Solution Overview
The RESP® Biosensor System enables sponsors and researchers to measure treatment effects on cough, lung sounds, and additional metrics in daily life alongside patient-reported outcomes.
- Patient-Friendly: A wireless, discreet form factor that respects patient comfort and lifestyle
- Comprehensive Data: Collects all lung sounds including cough, wheeze and crackles alongside physiological data enabled by an inertial measurement unit.
- Validated Reporting: Our qualified and trained annotation team ensures reporting meets endpoint requirements.

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 phones allow for remote data uploads, streamlining subject reporting
High Fidelity & Integrity
FDA 510(k) class II medical device for capturing lung sounds, including cough
Patient-Friendly
Wireless, discreet biosensor secured by a gentle and breathable adhesive
Comprehensive Insights
Collects a robust combination of respiratory and physiological data to provide a more complete respiratory picture
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.

*Measurement not FDA cleared but may be collected in clinical trials
Flexible Reporting—Automated or Human Annotation
- Strados Labs’ trained and qualified annotation team identifies and counts cough and lung sounds from subject recordings to meet primary endpoint requirements.
- Our CoughCheck™ machine learning algorithm*, trained on over 200,000 coughs, has demonstrated strong accuracy in cough detection and is available for applications such as high-volume screening or exploratory endpoints.
*Algorithm not FDA-cleared but may be used in clinical trials
Visual spectrograms of lung sound events facilitate overread for trained annotators
Cough
Wheeze
Crackles
Patient-Friendly Form Factor
- Unobtrusive, wireless form factor reduces 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.
