Can AI-Powered stethoscopes spot hidden heart problems?
NCT ID NCT07202104
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a machine learning algorithm can accurately detect heart murmurs that point to structural heart disease. Researchers will record heart sounds from 125 adults using two different digital stethoscopes and compare the algorithm's findings to standard echocardiograms. If the algorithm works well, it could help doctors identify heart problems more quickly and easily.
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 and 3M Littmann CORE digital stethoscopes
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a more accurate, non-invasive way to detect heart murmurs using digital stethoscopes, potentially reducing the need for unnecessary echocardiograms.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (125 participants) focused on algorithm improvement, not a treatment. The algorithm may not perform well enough in real-world settings or across diverse patient groups.
