Summary

This study pretends to evaluate the potential use of Hyfe Cough Tracker (Hyfe) to screen for, diagnose, and support the clinical management of patients with respiratory diseases, while enriching a dataset of disease-specific annotated coughs, for further refinement of similar systems.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Hyfe Cough Tracker

Hyfe Cough Tracker is a digital acoustic surveillance system that uses an artificial intelligence system to discriminate cough from non-cough sounds. Hyfe is an AI-enabled mobile app that records short snippets (\<0.5 seconds) of putative cough explosive sounds and then classifies them as cough or non-cough using a convolutional neural network (CNN) model. Briefly, the acoustic characteristics of recorded sounds are converted into an image file, which is then processed by an algorithm trained to identify graphical differences in images. This creates an adjustable prediction score, with values above it, resulting in a sound being classified as "cough", and those below being classified as "non-cough.

DEVICE

Hyfe Air

Hyfe Air is a wearable device with an incorporated wireless lapel microphone. The device´s recordings can be run through the same cough-detection algorithm used by Hyfe Cough Tracker, while its results are directly stored in a remote database and are not displayed to participants.
