If your kid is suffering from frequent colds and coughs, there might be reasons to worry about. Kids usually cough to signify an underlying syndrome which may go undetected for a long time and that may lead to medical complications. STAR Analytical Services is a company based in Bedford, Massachusetts, and they are developing software which can detect the different types of coughs.

It can differentiate between a cough that is caused by cold, flu, COPD and other respiratory diseases. it can also detect between the coughs of a healthy person, a voluntary and an involuntary cough among many other things. It may be used with old people too and with adults as well. Each kind of cough has its own wavelength which is detected by the software.

When such a cough is detected, it becomes easier for people to seek medical attention on time. I only hope this reaches the market on time and when it does, I would be the first one to buy. It has to be one of the best software to be developed lately. Millions of people suffer from respiratory diseases that go undetected and such software and a befitting device could help the all.
