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.
