About this study

Official title: Cardiac Auscultation Using Smartphones: a Proof-of-concept Study

The investigators performed a proof-of-concept study enrolling subjects with normal and pathologic heart sounds. Heart sound was recorded by auscultation on the skin of the chest wall using three smartphones: Samsung Galaxy S5 and Galaxy S6, and LG G3 . Recorded heart sounds were processed and classified by a diagnostic algorithm using convolutional neural networks.

Read the detailed description

Heart sound recording was done by researchers who were familiar with the use of the app and understand the principles of cardiac auscultation.

Reference heart sounds were recorded using an electronic stethoscope (3M™ Littmann® Electronic Stethoscope Model 3200). Study devices included Samsung Galaxy S5 (model SM-G900), Galaxy S6 (SM-G920), and LG G3 (LG-F400).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Physiological Phenomena, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Sep 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Accuracy of "CPstethoscope" in interpretation of heart sounds (time frame: 0). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03273803, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Sep 2017.
