From 30 Years of Coughing to Relief in Weeks: The Science Behind Digital Cough Therapy

Refractory chronic cough affects up to 100 million people worldwide, yet most patients go years, even decades, without effective treatment. Behavioral Cough Suppression Therapy (BCST) is the only intervention that addresses the neurological root of chronic cough, but a critical shortage of trained therapists means millions never receive care. In this conversation, speech-language pathologist Dr. Laurie Slovarp and Hyfe's Chief Product Officer Reid Moorsmith, explore why BCST works, the evidence behind it, and how a digital therapeutic built around BCST could bring effective treatment to patients who currently have nowhere to turn.
