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 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 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 study uses an artificial intelligence (AI) model to help doctors identify heart problems in unborn babies by analyzing fetal heart ultrasound images. It aims to improve early detection and diagnosis of congenital heart disease.
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 tests whether a smartphone app can measure heart rate and heart rate variability using sound recordings, and compares it with standard methods. It might help with future at-home heart monitoring.
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.
