Google said its cough and snore algorithms will translate into a sleep monitoring system that will help detect a user’s coughs and snores throughout the night. It is unknown whether if successful the features will be rolled out onto phones or in which app or capacity they will appear. 

The company said, “The Health Sensing team is actively working to bring an advanced suite of sensing capabilities and algorithms to Android devices with the goal of providing users with meaningful insight into their sleep.”
