NCT ID NCT05765396
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests two new devices (imPulse Una and TOR) that use sound waves to detect COVID-19, flu, and RSV without needles or swabs. About 300 adults with or without symptoms will have a quick, painless scan. The goal is to see if these e-stethoscopes can accurately identify these viruses compared to standard tests.
