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.
