AI-Powered stethoscope could spot hidden Lung-Heart condition
NCT ID NCT07136623
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a digital stethoscope and a simple heart monitor (ECG) can detect pulmonary hypertension, a serious condition where blood pressure in the lungs is too high. About 1,500 adults who are already scheduled for heart tests will have their heart sounds and electrical signals recorded. Researchers will use this data to train an AI algorithm to spot signs of the disease, aiming for a quick, noninvasive screening tool.
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 three-lead electrocardiogram
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a simple, noninvasive way to screen for pulmonary hypertension using a stethoscope and ECG, potentially catching the disease earlier.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage observational study focused on algorithm development, not a treatment. The AI may not be accurate enough, and results may not apply to all patients.
