Can AI guide novices to capture clear heart images?
NCT ID NCT07771270
First seen Aug 18, 2026 · Last updated Aug 19, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study evaluates an AI system designed to help people with little ultrasound experience capture clear images of the heart. Researchers will review previously recorded ultrasound clips to see if the system's on-screen guidance correctly corrects the probe position and whether its auto-capture feature grabs diagnostic-quality images. The goal is to measure how often the AI's suggestions lead to better views and whether the captured clips meet clinical standards.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Kosmos Trio Guidance algorithm and Auto-Capture feature (software algorithms for cardiac ultrasound)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could validate AI-driven guidance that helps non-experts obtain high-quality cardiac ultrasound images, potentially expanding access to heart imaging.
- What could go wrong
- This is a retrospective analysis of existing clips, not a live trial, and success depends on expert reviewers' subjective ratings. The algorithm may not perform consistently across all heart views or in real-world settings.

Who is studied
The study used retrospective datasets from 2 sources: ECHO-020 Kosmos Guidance, Grading, and Capture Performance Evaluation study, and ECHO-025 Kosmos Guidance Performance Evaluation study. Both datasets comprise fully de-identified, retrospective, echocardiographic clips acquired using the Kosmos diagnostic ultrasound system. Data collection for both studies was performed at EchoNous headquarters in Redmond, Washington. Source data was collected targeting a balanced representation of demographics and clinical characteristics (including gender and BMI) to ensure the generalizability of study findings.
