CoughPro

Hyfe

About this app

CoughPro has been redesigned from top to bottom to be faster, capture more coughs, and give you more insights into your cough so that you can manage it better.

When we want to manage our weight, we use a bathroom scale. When we want to increase our activity, we count our steps. And when we have a fever, we use a thermometer to gauge how high it is. But until now, with cough, we just guessed whether it was high or low, increasing or decreasing, happening more at one time of the day or night.

CoughPro solves this problem by detecting and quantifying your cough passively and unobtrusively on your phone, so you know the frequency and patterns of your coughing. It gives you clarity about your cough, by instantly showing you your cough count.

CoughPro, powered by Hyfe, uses artificial intelligence to distinguish between coughs and other, similar sounds. It preserves your privacy by performing all of the acoustic analysis on your phone, so your data stays with you.

If you have a problematic cough, use CoughPro to make your cough count!

The accuracy of the data collected and presented through CoughTracker has not been evaluated by the FDA and is not intended to be used in any medical decision-making capacity, including presenting CoughTracker-gathered cough information to a healthcare professional for management of a patient's cough-related symptoms or conditions.

Ratings and reviews

Like the concept, which is of course why I installed it, however the accuracy was only about 70% correct. Definitely did not capture coughs that I was aware of, and then would capture several "coughs" when I was moving chairs, opening doors, etc. For the most part, the counts were of enough value that i kept this installed for a day. What caused me to uninstall it was that though the app ran just fine for the first 24 hours, as soon as it went to running in the background it drained my phone battery in about 3 hours, using over 60% of the battery life just for this app. This makes the app completely unusable unless you would be using it with the phone plugged in next to a stationary person. If that is the case, it may be better to design an app for an Amazon Echo or Google Home as those objects are already designed to be listening all the time and are used plugged in.

It's working great but heavy drain on battery. Seems to count a few more coughs than are actually happening. Edit: also data usage 21gb in the last month. Seems like a whole lot. What's going on here?

App is great at tracking cough when little ones are sick. I treat it as a early warning indicator before the cold gets back. Customer service is awesome, they actually respond to all my questions.
