Chronic cough affects millions of people worldwide and has a massive impact on the quality of life of those affected. In around 40 percent of cases, the cause is unknown.1 However, chronic coughs or underlying diseases such as COPD or asthma are often associated with difficulties: there is a lack of uniform and objective measurement methods, the data available is limited and comparability is difficult.
NELA is an innovative solution for cough tracking and can help researchers to generate objective data. NELA quantifies cough – to produce meaningful and objective results. The hardware and algorithms behind NELA were developed in close cooperation with patients and medical experts. Particular attention is therefore paid not only to data quality, but also to ease of use for users.
NELA offers a wide range of applications and generates objectively comparable data. The goal: to improve the quality of life for patients through forward-looking technical solutions and to provide medical professionals with verifiable data on cough symptoms for the monitoring, diagnosis and treatment of chronic cough.
