Hyfe Continuous, Validated Cough Monitoring

What is Hyfe?

Hyfe provides advanced AI solutions for continuous and reliable cough monitoring. Utilizing a state-of-the-art wearable device, typically a familiar watch form factor, Hyfe's technology operates unobtrusively to track cough frequency over extended periods, including weeks, months, or even years. This capability is designed to serve pharmaceutical companies, academic researchers, and healthcare providers by delivering precise insights derived from high-quality, consistently collected data.

The system prioritizes user privacy by processing all data directly on the device; only cough timestamps are analyzed, and no audio is ever recorded or transmitted. Hyfe's AI models are clinically validated, demonstrating high sensitivity (90%) and low false positives (around 1 per hour) in real-world settings and numerous global clinical trials. The platform includes an intuitive companion app and a comprehensive dashboard for easy data access and interpretation, supporting applications from patient screening in trials to remote patient monitoring in virtual care settings.
