Ear infection diagnosis with training app and AI support
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests whether a training app and AI help doctors diagnose ear infections more accurately. If you have ear pain or symptoms, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have new ear discomfort or symptoms within the last month.
- Or, for young children: a cold or respiratory infection with signs that might involve the ears.
- You are seen by a doctor at a participating primary care center.
- You (or your guardian) agree to participate and sign a consent form.

This study is testing an AI software that helps doctors check children's ears. It may help diagnose ear infections more accurately using images, which could lead to better treatment.
This study looks at whether a new light-based check can help detect middle ear problems such as ear infections or fluid behind the eardrum. If it works well, it could help clinicians identify the problem faster and more accurately for children.
This study tests a gentle hands-on treatment called osteopathic manipulation to see if it can help children with ongoing or repeat ear infections avoid needing ear tubes. If your child is being considered for ear tubes, this treatment might offer another option.
This trial tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) tool can help doctors decide when antibiotics are not needed for young children with colds. It aims to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use.
This study teaches parents how to use a special phone camera tool to spot ear infections (acute otitis media, or AOM) at home. Researchers want to see if parents can reliably identify these infections early, which might help avoid unnecessary doctor visits or catch problems sooner.
This study tests an app that helps doctors check kids with asthma or common ear/nose/throat problems. It’s for children who get care at the University of Arizona and have a device to run the app.
