Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Dataset size [ Time Frame: 14 days ]
    Size of collected audio dataset measured as number of collected cough sounds, targeting ≥10,000 identified coughs.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Cough sound identification [ Time Frame: 14 days ]
    Identification of cough sounds by the existing mathematical model with ≥ 99% specificity and ≥ 60% sensitivity

  2. Improvement of the existing model [ Time Frame: 14 days ]
    Increase in the sensitivity of the mathematical model to cough sounds to ≥ 70% while retaining the specificity of ≥ 99%

  3. Evaluate the usability of the application [ Time Frame: 14 days ]
    Determination of the level of acceptance and satisfaction of the solution by patients by means of a Standard Usability Questionnaire to provide feedback. The score ranges from 10 to 50, higher score indicating a better usability.
