Cough Monitoring
Capture real-world cough burden with flexible monitoring solutions designed around your protocol, endpoint strategy, and patients.
STRADOS FOR COUGH MONITORING
Strados combines multiple wearable options, analysis approaches, and an expanding set of cough measures to support a wide range of research needs.
PRODUCT SUITE
Designed to capture cough frequency in daily life with the highest fidelity and accuracy, as well as cough bouts and sound intensity.
Best for: Primary endpoints, secondary endpoints, and multidimensional cough monitoring beyond frequency.
Two FDA 510(k) clearances and CE marked.
A familiar form factor designed for easy deployment, particularly well suited for capturing cough over longer, multi-day monitoring periods.
Best for: Subject screening, feasibility studies, population studies, and exploratory endpoints or substudies.
Supported by Samsung Galaxy Watch 8
Not a medical device; for clinical trial use only.

STEP 1
Passively capture cough and related measures in daily life.
STEP 2
Encrypted data securely syncs through the companion device.
STEP 3
Flexible analysis approaches to fit study goals.
STEP 3
Sponsors and study teams receive subject reports.
BUILT AROUND YOUR STUDY
Configure cough monitoring around your protocol, population, endpoint strategy, and required monitoring duration.
24-hour cough frequency supported by gold-standard manual cough annotation for regulatory-grade evidence.
Support multidimensional cough endpoints beyond frequency, including cough bouts, intensity, and day/night patterns.
Improve understanding of cough burden and quality of life in respiratory studies such as IPF, asthma, COPD, and bronchiectasis.
Evaluate cough patterns and establish endpoint parameters before larger studies.
Capture cough burden during daily life, outside the limits of scheduled site assessments.
Go beyond cough frequency by capturing multiple dimensions of cough burden, including cough sound intensity and cough bouts.
Measure traditional cough count across predefined monitoring periods
Capture these highly burdensome events in chronic coughers
Evaluate changes during waking and sleeping periods
Not all coughs are the same - better understand the quality and forcefulness of each cough
Capture wheezing, crackles and rhonchi alongside cough
Explore how cough relates to daily activity, rest, and physiological signals

INTELLIGENCE ADVANTAGE
Strados offers both manual gold-standard cough annotation by trained analysts and automated machine-learning detection with CoughCheck™*, plus hybrid approaches that combine the two. Configure the analysis to fit your study's endpoints, volume, budget, and regulatory requirements, with retained source audio creating a traceable evidence chain from capture through final reporting.
