Diagnosing Respiratory Disease in Children Using Smartphone Recordings of Cough Sounds

The purpose of this prospective study is to evaluate the efficacy of the ResAppDx software
application in diagnosis of pneumonia and other respiratory conditions (bronchiolitis,
asthma/reactive airway disease, croup, upper or lower respiratory tract infections) in
infants and children. Patient's cough sounds will be recorded using a smartphone and analysed
using the ResAppDx software. The ResAppDx diagnosis will be compared to radiologic diagnosis
and/or clinical diagnosis. The ResAppDx diagnosis will not be provided to the clinician or
patient.
