Validation of a cough monitoring system

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the C-mo System, a novel non-invasive medical device designed for objective monitoring of cough in patients. The system includes a wearable device that collects data on cough characteristics and a desktop software platform for analysis. By providing a thorough assessment of cough, the C-mo System aims to address the subjective nature of cough reporting and improve clinical management of respiratory conditions. The study will involve patients aged 2 years and older who experience cough symptoms.
