AI-Powered stethoscope could spot hidden heart trouble in minutes
NCT ID NCT07270692
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether an artificial intelligence program can detect low heart function (ejection fraction ≤40%) using heart sounds and a 3-lead ECG recorded with a digital stethoscope. Researchers will collect recordings from 500 adults who have recently had an echocardiogram. The goal is to train the AI to identify people with reduced heart function, which could lead to faster and easier screening in the future.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Eko CORE 500 digital stethoscope and 3M Littmann CORE Digital Stethoscope
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a simple, quick way to screen for low heart function using a stethoscope and AI, potentially catching heart problems earlier.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study to train an algorithm, not a treatment trial. The AI may not be accurate enough in real-world settings or across different groups.
