RESP® for Asthma

Objectively measure wheeze and cough in asthma patients

Asthma poses a huge burden on society and healthcare systems affecting 300 million globally, with prevalence and disease burden continuing to rise.1 Highly common in children, the disease is among the top causes of pediatric ED visits and missed school days.2

As clinicians and drug developers look for asthma monitoring devices to strengthen disease surveillance and insight into treatment response, continuous cough and wheeze monitoring offers a promising approach. Wheezing, a hallmark symptom of asthma and an indication of airway obstruction is typically observed only subjectively by patients or clinicians via auscultation. Cough is also a prevalent, burdensome symptom in asthma — especially in cough variant asthma — and a common early sign of an attack.3

The RESP® Biosensor, a wearable asthma monitoring device, offers direct, reliable metrics on cough and wheeze, providing enhanced insight into disease burden alongside patient self-reporting and pulmonary function tests.

The RESP® Biosensor: Technology Overview

  • Clinically validated accuracy, with equivalent performance to Littman 3200 electronic stethoscope¹
  • Passive collection of lung sounds such as cough and wheeze to offer objective data on respiratory status passively and remotely
  • Patient-friendly form factor: wireless and discreet without interfering with daily life

Strados Cough Monitoring Solution

How It Works

An end-to-end solution for remote monitoring of lung health

RESP® Biosensor

Wearable biosensor passively and continuously collects lung sounds and physiological data

RESP® Cloud

Captured data are securely and wirelessly transferred to HIPAA-compliant cloud for overread

Patient Reports

Once overread is complete, client receives detailed patient reports

Initial results from the study which took place at Ann & Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago showed positive feedback from patients and families as well as strong accuracy in detecting wheeze compared to physician auscultation.
