AI stethoscope screens thousands of kids for heart disease
NCT ID NCT07194785
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether an AI-powered smart stethoscope can accurately detect structural heart disease in over 6,600 students aged 10-18 in China. Trained staff used the device to listen to heart sounds, and the AI flagged potential issues. Students with positive results, plus a random sample of those with negative results, received a standard echocardiogram to confirm. The goal was to see if this quick, non-invasive screening could reliably identify children who need further heart evaluation.

AI-assisted cardiac auscultation using the HearTech Smart Stethoscope
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a quick, low-cost way to screen large numbers of children for hidden heart problems, catching issues early.
What could go wrong
This is a completed diagnostic study, not a treatment trial. The AI stethoscope may miss some cases or give false alarms, and results may not apply to other populations or settings.
