Hyfe Smartwatch
Passive recording of audio with detection of explosive sounds. When explosive sounds are detected, a 0.5-1 seconds audio clip is recorded, and run through an algorithm to determine whether or not it is a cough.
FitBit Versa 2
Commercial watch with the capability to monitor vital signs including oxygen saturation, respiratory rate and heart rate. Patients will be able to view their data in the FitBit app.
Home Spirometer
Patients will be able to perform spirometry testing at home. They will be able to view their data, and it will be uploaded to a dashboard for clinicians.
Audio recording
Patients will be asked to record several sentences which will be analyzed to detect speech patterns that may indicate changes in respiratory conditions.
