Automated, quantitative, smartphone-based detection of cough is feasible in hospitalised patients and correlates with disease activity in lower respiratory tract infections. Our approach allows for near real-time telemonitoring of individuals in aerosol isolation. Larger trials are warranted to decipher the use of cough as a digital biomarker for prognosis and tailored treatment in lower respiratory tract infections.
