AI stethoscope? new study uses smart tech to spot hidden heart danger
NCT ID NCT06749145
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether artificial intelligence (AI) can spot a serious heart valve condition called aortic stenosis using portable, non-invasive devices. Researchers will enroll 410 adults aged 70 and older during routine primary care visits. The goal is to see if AI-powered analysis of simple heart tests can catch moderate or severe cases earlier, potentially improving treatment timing.
