CoughTracker: Track and Analyze Your Coughing Patterns

CoughTracker is a free iPhone app developed by Hyfe Inc. and is categorized under Lifestyle and Health & Fitness. This app helps users track their coughing episodes and provides insights into their coughing patterns.

Using artificial intelligence, CoughTracker identifies coughs by analyzing explosive sounds. Once confirmed as coughs, these sounds are recorded on the user’s dashboard. The app records a short sample, about half a second, every time a cough-like sound is detected. While the sample does not contain contextual information, it is long enough to determine if a cough has occurred.

One of the key features of CoughTracker is its ability to monitor cough frequency and identify trends. Users can see how many times they cough and when their coughing episodes occur. It also allows users to control the information they want to share, and any shared data is anonymized to ensure privacy.

It is important to note that the accuracy of the data collected and presented by CoughTracker has not been evaluated by the FDA. Therefore, it should not be used for medical decision-making or as a substitute for professional healthcare advice.

Please note that CoughTracker is intended for use by residents of the United States.
