Trial summary

This study aims to develop a non-invasive and contact-free diagnostic system that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to detect Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) by analyzing walking patterns.

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 40 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: This study will include individuals between the ages of 40 and 80. The study population consists of two cohorts: patients previously diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) based on spirometry results, and healthy volunteers with no history of pulmonary disease. All participants must be physically able to complete a 6-minute walk test and willing to participate in video-based gait assessment.

Who may be able to join

  • Aged between 40 and 80 years
  • Ability to provide informed consent
  • For COPD group: Previously diagnosed with COPD based on GOLD criteria (FEV1/FVC < 0.70)
  • For control group: No history of pulmonary disease and normal spirometry results
  • Physically able to perform the 6-minute walk test
  • Willingness to participate in video recording during gait analysis

Who cannot join

  • Younger than 40 or older than 80 years
  • Acute respiratory tract infection or other active infections
  • Severe heart failure, advanced arrhythmias, or other serious cardiovascular conditions
  • Physical disability preventing completion of the 6-minute walk test
  • Neurological or orthopedic conditions causing major gait disturbance
  • Inability to perform spirometry due to physical or cognitive limitations
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women Diagnosed with other serious pulmonary diseases (e.g., interstitial lung disease, active tuberculosis) Refusal to give informed consent or to be video recorded

About this study

Official title: Development of an Artificial Intelligence-Based Motion Analysis System for the Detection of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

This study aims to develop a non-invasive and contact-free diagnostic system that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to detect Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) by analyzing walking patterns.

Participants in this study will include individuals with a diagnosis of COPD and healthy volunteers. All participants will undergo a 6-minute walk test (6MWT), during which their movements will be recorded using video. In addition, they will complete a breathing test (spirometry) and a short questionnaire about symptoms.

The recorded videos will be analyzed using an AI model based on motion tracking software. This model will evaluate walking-related parameters such as step count, step length, walking time, and total walking distance. The goal is to determine whether walking patterns can be used to detect COPD with high accuracy, especially in situations where traditional lung function tests may not be available or feasible.

This study is observational and does not involve any experimental drug or treatment. The results may help to create new diagnostic tools that are easy to use, safe, and accessible for early detection of COPD.

What participants receive

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

  • Gait Video Recording and AnalysisOther

    Participants undergo a 6-minute walk test (6MWT) while being recorded on video. The footage is later analyzed using artificial intelligence algorithms to assess gait parameters.

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnostic Accuracy of AI-Based Gait Analysis for Detection of COPD

    Evaluation of the sensitivity, specificity, and overall accuracy of the artificial intelligence-based motion analysis system in identifying patients with COPD compared to spirometry (gold standard).

    Measured: At time of initial assessment (Day 0)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), run by Burcin Celik.

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 6 inclusion and 7 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jun 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Diagnostic Accuracy of AI-Based Gait Analysis for Detection of COPD (time frame: At time of initial assessment (Day 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 NCT07010211, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 Jun 2025.
