Your phone could soon spot a hidden heart condition
NCT ID NCT07154303
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether smartphone sensors and AI can accurately detect atrial fibrillation (AF), a common heart rhythm disorder. Researchers will collect heart sounds, one-lead ECGs, and facial blood flow data from 209 adults with and without AF. The goal is to see if these smartphone-based methods can match the gold-standard 12-lead ECG in identifying AF.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Computer algorithms (ausculto®, Vitogram®, FacialAI)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could enable people to screen for atrial fibrillation using just their smartphone, potentially catching the condition earlier.
What could go wrong
This is an early diagnostic study, not a treatment trial. The AI may not be accurate enough in real-world settings, and results may not apply to all smartphone models or users.
