Researchers at NC State have improved wearable health-monitoring technology to more accurately detect coughs — even distinguishing them from speech and other human sounds. The advance could make it easier to track chronic respiratory conditions and predict health risks such as asthma attacks.

By combining sound and motion data from chest-worn monitors, the team developed a more reliable model that reduces false positives and enhances privacy protection in real-world environments.

Learn how this breakthrough is shaping the future of digital health:

Congratulations to NC State ECE Assistant Professor Suresh Venkatesh on being selected to participate in the 2025 EU-US Frontiers of Engineering symposium hosted by the National Academy of Engineering.

Venkatesh will present his lab’s research on Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) platforms, which enable a single wireless infrastructure to perform tasks like high-resolution imaging, tracking, and object detection — while simultaneously supporting high-speed secure communications.

The EU-US FOE gathers approximately 60 early-career engineers (30 from the U.S., 30 from the EU) from academia, industry and research institutions to foster collaboration and share cutting-edge developments.

📍 Bordeaux, France
📅 October 20-23, 2025
