Working together, ResApp and MGH will perform additional analysis of the SMARTCOUGH-C study data, use the SMARTCOUGH-C dataset to investigate the state of respiratory disease clinical practice today and evaluate the efficacy of ResApp's cough-based diagnostic test in additional respiratory disease indications.

MGH is a 999-bed academic medical centre located in Boston, Massachusetts. MGH has been named the number one healthcare organization for research by the Nature Index which tracked the number of articles published in high-impact research journals from February 2015 to January 2016 and has been among the top hospitals each year on the U.S. News & World Report list of "America's Best Hospitals."

Dr. Peter Moschovis M.D., MPH will lead the team at MGH. Dr. Moschovis undertook his specialist training at Harvard Medical School and has a joint appointment in paediatrics and pulmonary/critical care at MGH. Dr. Moschovis is a global health researcher in the Division of Global Health at MGH.

"We are delighted to expand our relationship with Dr. Moschovis and MGH beyond the SMARTCOUGH-C study to diagnose additional diseases and to evaluate clinical practices. The more broadly and effectively we apply ResApp's technology with our partners, the more rapidly we will integrate our diagnostic test into current clinical practice," said Tony Keating, CEO and Managing Director of ResApp Health.
