AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The platform provides early warning of impending exacerbation events, reducing the likelihood of emergency room visits and hospitalizations by enabling timely treatment through automated detection and communication of cough frequency data to healthcare providers.

Problems solved by technology

However, these treatment plans may only work if the doctor or patient are aware of the worsening symptoms and act upon this in a timely manner timely act upon this.
Impeding the full impact of the exacerbation event may decrease the likelihood of emergency room visits and hospitalizations for the patient.
Unfortunately some patients, such as children and the elderly, often ignore their early symptoms until early treatment measures are no longer effective, making conventional intervention strategies more likely to fail.

Abstract

A cough detection, analysis, and communication platform may be provided. The platform may comprise methods, systems, and a devices for detecting, analyzing, and communicating cough detection data. A cough detection device may comprise at least one microphone and analytic firmware used to employ methods of detecting, analyzing, and communicating the cough detection data. The analytic software may be updated to use the appropriate algorithms for an individual or corresponding demographic based on, for example, age and disease, with abnormal cough frequency components, abnormal cough frequency profiles, and alert thresholds. The cough detection device may be configured to communicate cough detection data to a server. The server, in turn, may be operative to process and communicate the data to a third party, such as, for example, a physician. Systems may further be operative to provide a user interface (e.g., mobile or web applications) for interfacing with the platform.
