For tuberculosis treatment monitoring, cough counts decline within 1-2 weeks of therapy initiation, often before microbiological conversion.
Continuous cough monitoring provides an immediate, non-invasive treatment response marker that complements traditional measures.

Is your smart ring FDA cleared?
Take a look at the below landscape of wearables that have FDA clearance. Smart rings so far remain sleep and activity trackers only, not medical devices.
