Swaasa AI can detect lung diseases from coughs using only a smartphone

Cough audio could replace spirometry for early screening

Swaasa AI is developing a smartphone-based cough sound analysis platform to screen respiratory conditions like COPD, asthma, and pneumonia. By using audio signals instead of traditional spirometry, the tool could make lung disease detection faster, cheaper, and more accessible—particularly in regions where spirometry testing is hard to get.
