Robust Multimodal Cough and Speech Detection using Wearables: A Preliminary Analysis.

Cough detection is a crucial tool for long-term monitoring of respiratory illnesses. While clinical methods are accurate, they are not available in a home-based setting. In contrast, wearable devices offer a more accessible alternative, but face challenges in ensuring user speech privacy and detecting coughs accurately in real-world settings due to potential poor audio quality and background noise.
