NCT ID NCT06734793
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a soft, wearable stethoscope that can continuously listen to a child's breathing and detect wheezing, a sign of an asthma attack. Researchers at Emory University will enroll 25 children hospitalized for asthma to wear the device for up to 8 hours. The goal is to see if the device can reliably spot breathing problems early, helping doctors respond faster.

Active substance
wearable stethoscope device
What this could lead to
If successful, this device could help doctors detect asthma attacks earlier in children, potentially reducing hospital stays and improving care.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 25 children, so results may not apply to all patients. The device's accuracy is still being tested and may not be reliable enough for widespread use.
