First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether an AI-powered digital stethoscope can help doctors in rural Bangladesh safely reduce antibiotic use in children with respiratory infections. About 2,500 children will be randomly assigned to standard care or care guided by the AI stethoscope. The goal is to see if the AI tool can cut antibiotic prescriptions by half without increasing treatment failures.
