Chronic Cough

Collect accurate and comprehensive cough metrics in the real world

Chronic cough, which impacts between 10-20% of the US population,1 can be both a symptom of another health condition, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or asthma, or a disease without an underlying cause. More than an annoyance, chronic cough can severely impact quality of life, including interrupting sleep, disrupting social life and much more.2,3

Yet, despite its prevalence and impact, effective treatments remain elusive with traditional cough monitors and measurements presenting challenges in demonstrating treatment efficacy. New and innovative methods for measuring the impact of chronic cough are emerging for clinical trialists to more effectively show cough reduction and improved quality of life beyond a reduction in cough count.

RESP® Biosensor Measurements

Gain greater insight into subject’s cough beyond counts; additional measurements better reflect what matters to patients, providing more complete information on how cough impacts quality of life.
  • 24-hour cough frequency
  • Cough bouts
  • Cough intensity*
  • Respiratory rate*
  • Sleep/wake*
  • Activity levels*

Screening

Effectively enroll the right participants in your trial using objective cough metrics.

Endpoints

Measure 24-hour cough frequency using our validated overread process.

Post-Approval Studies

Gain greater insight into treatment effectiveness in real-world, post approval studies

Validated Overread and Cough Counting Approach

Strados Labs employs a validated overread process that includes our team of respiratory therapists and specialists who manually review lung sound recordings to meet regulatory and clinical requirements for data accuracy.

Our machine learning algorithms have also been trained based on clinically validated labeled data and performance tested to meet customer requirements. Algorithms can be used independently for event detection or to feed data to our validated overread process.
