RESP® Watch
Technology Overview
Strados Labs partners with best-in-class manufacturers to offer watch-based cough monitoring, complementing our biosensor to offer a comprehensive suite of device options across study designs and applications.
Easy to Wear & Deploy
Uses the familiar form factor of a smartwatch. Patients know how to wear and charge it, improving compliance and data completeness.
Designed for Continuous Monitoring
Designed for single or multi-day continuous monitoring in daily life — capturing cough and physiological data passively across the full monitoring period.
CoughCheck™ Algorithm
Powered by our CoughCheck™ algorithm for accurate, automated cough detection. Machine learning algorithm is not FDA cleared but may be used for research.

Strados Labs' watch-based cough monitoring system is not FDA-cleared and is for research and clinical trial purposes only.
RESP® Watch
How It Works

Watch
Watch passively collects coughs and physiological insights throughout the monitoring period.

Cough Detection
Coughs are detected via machine learning with quality review from Strados specialists.

Patient Reports
Client receives detailed patient cough reports, ready for analysis and submission.

Strados Intelligence Advantage
Automated cough detection with the option for expert human review
Cough analysis on the RESP® Watch is primarily performed by the CoughCheck™ machine learning algorithm — delivering scalable, objective cough detection across continuous, real-world recordings. All audio is retained on the platform, enabling ad hoc and optional human overread by trained Strados respiratory specialists when additional validation is required. This flexible approach maximizes accuracy while maintaining the efficiency needed for large-scale clinical trials.
