AI listens to your lungs: could a digital stethoscope spot disease?

NCT ID NCT07360522

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is gathering lung sounds from 750 adults—both healthy volunteers and those with breathing issues—using special digital stethoscopes. The goal is to build an artificial intelligence algorithm that can automatically detect abnormal sounds like wheezes or crackles. If it works, doctors might one day get a faster heads-up about lung conditions.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

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 work as hoped or may need much more testing before it can be used in practice.
