Child health body sounds study
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how well a computer system can check children's health by listening to body sounds, like those from the heart, lungs, or belly. It is testing an AI system to see if it works well as an extra check alongside regular medical care.

This study uses ultrasound imaging of the heart to check how well the heart valves are working in children who were born with heart defects. It aims to understand valve problems better, which may help guide treatment.
This trial tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) program can help doctors hear and spot heart problems in children, compared to listening with a stethoscope alone. It takes place in schools in Qinghai Province, and all children get a heart ultrasound (echocardiogram) to check for congenital heart disease.
This study tests whether doctors in the emergency department or heart clinic can use a small ultrasound device to check heart health in children who already have a heart condition. It also tests if artificial intelligence can help read the images. This may lead to faster and easier heart checks for children.
This study uses digital technology to analyze heart sounds in newborns under 30 days old. The goal is to develop a simple, non-invasive way to detect heart problems early using sound recordings.
This study is testing a digital stethoscope (a modern device that amplifies and records lung sounds) in young children who have a cough or trouble breathing. It does not test a medicine—just checks if the device can pick up useful breath sounds to help doctors decide on care.
This study is testing a new device that records heart and lung sounds to see if it can help doctors better understand heart and lung conditions. You may be eligible if you have a known heart condition or if you are generally healthy, and if you've had or will have an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) in the last or next year.
