Can smartphones check heart sounds for birth defects?
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a smartphone app can accurately detect inborn heart diseases by listening to heart sounds. Participation involves having your heart sounds recorded with a smartphone, which may help find problems earlier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 6 years old.
- You have had an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) at a hospital in the past 3 years.
- You do not have a pacemaker or defibrillator implanted in your chest.
- You do not have a heart valve disease that you were not born with.

This study tests an artificial intelligence (AI) tool to help doctors spot heart problems in unborn babies during pregnancy. If you are between 16 and 40 weeks pregnant and your baby's heart ultrasound images are clear, this trial may help improve how heart issues are found early.
This study tests whether young people with heart conditions can use a home monitoring app called Medly to track their symptoms and weight. The app may help doctors catch problems earlier and keep kids healthier at home.
This trial tests if smartphones and their accessories can detect a specific type of irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation. If you have a form of atrial fibrillation or a normal heart rhythm, you may help see how well these devices work.
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 uses automated ultrasound measurements to track how a baby’s heart is working during pregnancy. It compares babies who have a specific congenital heart problem with babies without it, to understand what ultrasound can detect.
This study tests if a smartphone app can detect aortic valve stenosis (a heart valve condition) by recording heart sounds. If successful, it could offer a simple, non-invasive way to screen for this condition without a doctor's visit.
