Coughs are an under-appreciated health metric, but artificial intelligence-based tools may soon change that
The company is also studying how such data can help predict the prognosis of respiratory illness.
For now, Hyfe only collects cough data from participants in such research studies who consent to participate and provide their cough data to the scientists. The free app records cough audio but only stores it on a user’s phone, and does not upload any of the data to the cloud or share it with the company, so data from the app is not being used to improve Hyfe’s algorithm. Google’s cough monitoring, available through the Digital Wellbeing app for Android phones, takes the same approach.
Google Health also sees potential in using cough data for diagnosing disease, beyond recognizing the differences between wet and dry coughs, or between hacking coughs and wheezes. “If you asked me a year ago, I would have said I was skeptical about [using coughs for screening or diagnosis,]” says Dr. Lawrence Cai, a medical specialist in mobile sensing at Google Health.
