ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a tool called the Hyfe Cough Tracker, which is designed to help doctors better understand and manage coughs in patients with respiratory diseases like COPD, asthma, and COVID-19. The goal is to see if this tool can help screen for and diagnose these conditions while also providing support for ongoing patient care. By tracking coughs, the researchers hope to gather valuable information that can improve the use of similar technologies in the future.

To participate in the main study, individuals must be patients at the Clinical Universidad de Navarra experiencing a cough and be willing to give their consent. Participants should be at least 18 years old and have access to Wi-Fi at home, as the study requires regular use of the cough-tracking system. Those who join can expect to use the cough tracker during their monitoring period, which will help their healthcare team better understand their symptoms and manage their health. Overall, this trial aims to enhance the way coughs are monitored and treated in patients with respiratory issues.
