AI learns to detect lung problems by listening to breath sounds
NCT ID NCT07227376
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study uses digital stethoscopes to record lung sounds from 250 adults and children in real clinical settings. The goal is to train an artificial intelligence algorithm to automatically detect wheezes, crackles, and other abnormal sounds. The research does not test any treatment but aims to improve how lung diseases are diagnosed.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Eko digital stethoscopes (CORE 500 and 3M Littmann CORE)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to an AI tool that helps doctors quickly identify lung problems by listening to breath sounds.
What could go wrong
This is an early data-collection study, not a treatment trial. The AI algorithm may not perform well enough for real-world use, and results may not apply to all patients.
