The Value Of Continuous Cough Monitoring And Its Impact On The Placebo Effect

In this Digital Health Monthly session, viewers will explore how digital health technologies are transforming the way persistent cough is monitored and understood across various respiratory diseases, including COPD, asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, and chronic cough. Persistent cough is not only disruptive to daily life but also closely linked to disease progression and treatment response. Accurately measuring a cough over time has been difficult, partly due to strong placebo effects.

This presentation highlights how continuous, objective cough monitoring through digital tools can overcome these challenges and enhance clinical research. Experts will discuss the evolution of cough tracking, the factors contributing to placebo responses, and how multisensor wearable devices can integrate cough data with insights on sleep and activity for a more comprehensive view of patient health.
