Collecting lung sounds with Eko digital devices
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses a digital stethoscope to record lung sounds from patients with and without breathing problems. It aims to help doctors better identify different types of lung sounds.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a known or suspected lung condition (like asthma, COPD, or pneumonia) OR a doctor heard abnormal sounds like wheezing or crackles when listening to your lungs
- You may also join if you are healthy and have normal lung sounds
- Adults and children can take part
- You must be able to lie still while recordings are taken from your chest and back

This study uses a digital stethoscope to record lung sounds from adults with or without lung conditions. It aims to collect data that may help improve detection of breathing problems.
This study uses a special imaging test called electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to look at how well the lungs work in people with lung diseases like COPD, asthma, pneumonia, or long-term effects from COVID-19. It also includes healthy volunteers to compare results.
This study tests if a digital stethoscope and a simple 3-lead ECG (heart rhythm test) can detect two heart conditions: high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension) and low pumping strength of the heart (low ejection fraction). It's intended for adults who recently had a heart ultrasound or a heart catheterization.
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 tests a computer “listening” algorithm that uses an electronic stethoscope to help detect pulmonary hypertension. It may help spot this condition earlier by turning routine heart-lung exams into more informative screenings.
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.
