The American start-up Hyfe is proposing an application to identify possible respiratory problems, simply by analysing a person's cough. To do this, the app draws an impressive database of sounds that helps it recognise certain conditions.

Hyfe is a free and ad-free mobile cough-monitoring application. It is billed as a real diagnostic tool, developed in collaboration with a team of health professionals, notably in partnership with the University of Navarra in Spain.
