Sound wave scanner could help ER doctors spot heart trouble in minutes
NCT ID NCT07653204
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test a non-invasive device called ADx-One that uses airborne ultrasound to capture chest vibrations. Researchers aim to develop a computer algorithm that can tell if a patient's chest pain or shortness of breath is due to a heart problem or something else. The study will enroll 2,500 adults in French emergency departments, but the device will not change their usual care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ADx-One medical device (airborne ultrasound)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this device could help emergency doctors quickly and accurately identify whether chest pain or shortness of breath is caused by a heart problem, speeding up treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study to develop an algorithm, not a final test. The device is not yet proven to work, and it will not change patient care during the trial.
