50+ trials

Extensive Clinical Validation

Hyfe’s CoughMonitor Suite has been used in +50 field and clinical trials to date, including phase 1 and phase 2 clinical trials. Rigorous validation studies show Hyfe’s tools outperform alternatives with consistent, scientifically backed results and very low false positives. CMS achieves a Lin’s Concordance Correlation Coefficient (a measure of agreement where 1.0 = perfection) of 0.97 when comparing model-estimated cough counts to human-labelled ground truth, demonstrating robust agreement and reliability.

From days to years

Continuous Monitoring

Hyfe’s tools provide uninterrupted cough monitoring for weeks, months, or even years, unlike other technologies that are limited to 24-hour or overnight sessions. No changing of devices or device parts, and no trial visits are required for continuous monitoring.

How it works

Inside the CoughMonitor Suite

Cough Monitor Suite combines wearable technology, mobile connectivity, and cloud-based analytics to provide continuous, objective cough monitoring - backed by full study support services.

CoughMonitor

CoughMonitor continuously deploys an acoustic signal processing algorithm to automatically identify coughs. The times at which coughing occurred are sent via Bluetooth to a dedicated mobile app.

CoughMonitor Companion app

The Companion app automatically sends data via the phone's Internet connection to Hyfe's Cloud. It also collects PROs, both standard and tailored to each study.

Hyfe Cloud

The data is securely stored in the Cloud and can be accessed for review through the Web-based Dashboard.

Web-based Dashboard

The Dashboard allows researchers to monitor study participants and download data.

Testimonials

What Our Partners say

David A. Edwards

CEO | Sensory Cloud Inc.

Overall, Hyfe’s technology has been robust, accurate, and user-friendly for both participants and study staff. Communication with the Hyfe team - including data science, clinical operations, and technical support - has been timely and solution-oriented. We are pleased with the data quality and the overall collaboration.

Dan Copeland

CEO | Renovion

Hyfe’s team is excellent. They are responsive and collaborative and their technology performed reliably in a real-world chronic bronchitis population. The accuracy of cough detection, clarity of dashboards, and availability of Hyfe’s support contributed to a smooth study experience. We are satisfied with the partnership and confident in continuing with Hyfe’s platform in future trials.

Dr. Dominic Sykes

Hull York Medical School

I believe that this technology has a plethora of potential applications in the field of respiratory medicine, in both research and clinical practice.

Dr. Jean-Nicolas “Grandjean” Lapierre

CHUM - Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal

In the end, cough could become something clinicians use to ensure their patient is fine, the treatment is working, and there is no exacerbation. We can generate reliable data, and we see value in long-term clinical management.

Dr. Marc Judson

Albany Medical College

It seems absurd in this day and age for us to assess patients every three months when they are receiving medications that could probably be reduced in a week or two if there was adequate monitoring outside of the formal clinic setting. … The application of cough monitoring in sarcoidosis will allow for an earlier reduction in toxic medications as well as earlier evaluation of pulmonary sarcoidosis exacerbations… I don’t see why a similar treatment paradigm couldn’t be developed for other more common respiratory diseases.

Dr. Nadia Giannetti

McGill University Health Centre

I find Hyfe’s work so compelling. I want to understand whether we can document cough frequency in patients with heart failure and use it as an early indicator of fluid accumulation in the lungs. If we could detect increased coughing, especially while lying down, as an early sign of decompensation, it could transform heart failure management.
