Official title: Evaluating the Feasibility of Artificial Intelligence Algorithms in Clinical Settings for Classification of Normal, Wheeze and Crackle Sounds Acquired From a Digital Stethoscope

Assessing the feasibility and testing the accuracy of the developed artificial intelligence algorithms for detection of wheezes and crackles in patients with lung pathologies in clinical settings on unseen local patient data acquired through three digital stethoscopes.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Artificial Intelligence AlgorithmDevice

    The enrolled population will include patients with a history of lung pathologies. Artificial intelligence-based models are developed for classification of wheezes, crackles and normal lung sounds. These AI models will be tested and assessed on local lung sounds clinical data.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Testing the accuracy of artificial intelligence models for detection of wheeze, crackles, and normal lung sounds by measuring the sensitivity and specificity

    Artificial intelligence models are trained on lung sounds collected from three different digital stethoscopes named NoaScope, eSteth, and Littmann individually. Data from all three digital stethoscopes is also merged to train separate AI models. These trained AI models will be evaluated based on sensitivity which is the ability to correctly identify wheezes and crackles, and specificity which is the ability to correctly identify normal lung sounds. True positive (TP), true negative (TN), false positive (FP), and false-negative (FN) values will be used to calculate sensitivity \& specificity using the following expressions.

    Sensitivity: TP/TP+FN Specificity: TN/TN+FP

    Measured: 2 months

  2. Clinical validation of AI models for detection of wheeze, crackles, and normal lung sounds by comparison with gold standard

    AI models will be tested for their clinical feasibility through comparison of results obtained from AI models with that of the gold standard by measuring positive and negative agreement (NPA \& PPA). The gold standard is the label given to each lung sound recording by an experienced consultant pulmonologist. The AI model is blinded to these labels and is tested independently for detection of normal lung sounds, wheezes, and crackles

    Measured: 2 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Performance analysis of three digital stethoscopes: Littmann, NoaScope, and eSteth

    Performance analysis of three digital stethoscopes NoaScope, eSteth, and Littmann will be evaluated using the sensitivity and specificity achieved by each stethoscope. True positive (TP), true negative (TN), false positive (FP), and false-negative (FN) values will be used to calculate sensitivity \& specificity using the following expressions.

    Sensitivity: TP/TP+FN Specificity: TN/TN+FP

    Measured: 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Artificial Intelligence Algorithm in people with Respiratory and Lung, run by Innova Smart Technologies (Pvt.) Ltd at 1 site in Pakistan.

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 3 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 6 Apr 2023. 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 Pakistan. 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?

Testing the accuracy of artificial intelligence models for detection of wheeze, crackles, and normal lung sounds by measuring the sensitivity and specificity (time frame: 2 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 6 Apr 2023.
