What it is

Acoustic screening of cough and breathing sounds for respiratory red flags — asthma, COPD, pneumonia, TB suspicion — built for low-resource and paediatric settings where the phone is the only instrument in the room. Output is always a referral prompt with the recording attached for the clinician.

How it works

The usual shape of a clinical record app. CoughCheck’s own steps are written from its screen when it ships.

  1. Open the patientThe chart opens with allergies, medicines and recent results on screen.
  2. Write itType, dictate or accept the AI draft — structured, not free text.
  3. Sign itNothing is saved until you sign; safety checks run first.

Rules it keeps

What it does not do, by design. A listing with only benefits is an advertisement.

It does not name a disease — it grades concern and routes to a clinician, uncertainty included.
