Summary

This study is developing a computer program that can analyze heart sounds recorded with a digital stethoscope to tell if a newborn's heart is healthy or not. Researchers will record heart sounds from 1,000 babies under 30 days old and use those recordings to train and test the program. The goal is to see if this digital approach can find heart problems more accurately than current newborn screening methods, potentially saving lives and reducing unnecessary worry and costs.
