AI listens to arteries: new algorithm aims to cut diagnostic errors

NCT ID NCT02932176

First seen Mar 11, 2026 · Last updated Jun 08, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study aims to create a smart computer program that helps doctors better understand the sounds from a handheld device used to check blood flow in arteries. Many doctors lack formal training in using this device, which can lead to missed or wrong diagnoses. The study will collect sound recordings from 180 patients who are already scheduled for standard vascular tests, then compare the algorithm's analysis to the established test results. No extra procedures or risks are involved.
