We are thrilled to introduce Laura Kütt as our Director of Cough Solutions 👋

Laura joins us as an experienced leader, bringing deep expertise in clinical and commercial strategy for cough monitoring to drive our cough solutions portfolio.

Cough is more than a symptom. Present across many respiratory conditions, it represents a significant opportunity to advance understanding of respiratory diseases and related conditions.

At Vitalograph we are committed to enabling a better understanding lung heath and transforming how cough is measured and understood. Laura is focused on leveraging Vitalograph's decades of gold-standard measurement, and respiratory expertise, integrating advanced machine learning to deliver scalable solutions that meet the highest standards of validation and regulatory compliance.

If you are working on clinical trials or respiratory research and want to explore how advanced cough monitoring can make a difference, reach out to connect with Laura at the BTS Winter Meeting!

Vitalograph is proud to sponsor the 2025 Foundational Spirometry Workshop. Delivered by the Pan African Thoracic Society (PATS) under the ATS–PATS MECOR Programme (PATS MECOR).

The workshop welcomed 17 students from 14 countries, a truly pan-African cohort spanning clinical services, occupational health and research. Many arrived with limited or no access to reliable equipment and standardised quality control (QC), but left with a shared language for quality, a practical grasp of international standards, and the momentum to improve spirometry where it matters most—at the point of care.

It’s World Chronic Cough Day 🌍

Chonic Cough is a disease, not just a symptom. Imagine living with a cough that never goes away. For Lynn, this is a reality and impacts her life physically, emotionally, and socially.

But Lynn hasn’t given up hope. She has taken part in more than 20 clinical trials, helping researchers get one step closer to finding an effective treatment for chronic cough.

Anyone who knows Vitalograph knows we have a love of animals, especially dogs. Our fabulous pooches are regularly the topic of water-cooler conversation, and we all appreciate the mental and physical health benefits they bring to our lives. However, we are acutely aware that domestic animals can be off limits for many asthma sufferers.

🐶 That's why this article caught our attention. A study presented at last week’s ERS Congress has found that Indoor dog allergens may protect young children from developing asthma.

"Our findings highlight the potential protective role of dog allergens, but we need to do more research to understand the link between early-life exposure to dog allergens, lung function, and asthma during early childhood," says Jacob McCoy, M.D., from the Hospital for Sick Children & Research Institute in Toronto, where the study was conducted.

Rethinking cough metrics 💡

Watch Dr. Terence Taylor introduce our poster from the European Respiratory Society Congress (ERS) last week. This exploratory research used Axalbion Therapeutics' AX-8 clinical trial data measuring cough bouts.

Many patients report that cough bouts have a greater impact on daily life than isolated coughs. As interest in cough bout analysis grows, these new insights are helping redefine how we measure and understand treatment benefit in chronic cough.

includes several different forms — each with its own causes, patterns and care needs. Understanding these differences is key to reaching a correct diagnosis and getting timely access to the right support, including oxygen therapy when needed.

Here are 7 of the most commonly recognised types of PF:
➡️Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)
➡️Non-Specific Interstitial Pneumonia
➡️Chronic Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis
➡️Rheumatoid Arthritis Interstitial Lung Disease
➡️Scleroderma Interstitial Lung Disease
➡️Fibrotic Sarcoidosis
➡️Unclassifiable Interstitial Lung Disease
