  • "The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate a prototype wearable stethoscope designed to record lung sounds and assess asthma control in children and adolescents with asthma aged 4 to 17 years who are able to perform spirometry."
  • "The study aims to determine whether the prototype wearable stethoscope can accurately detect clinically meaningful changes in lung sounds associated with asthma control and response to bronchodilator treatment."
Compensation

  • Study-related exams and procedures are typically provided at no cost. This is how many trials work in general — confirm the details for this study with the study team.
  • Participants are monitored closely by the research team throughout the study.

  • Your participation helps researchers learn whether this approach could help future patients.

About this study

In plain language

This study tests a wearable stethoscope that records lung sounds in children ages 4 to 17 with asthma who can do a breathing test. Researchers will compare it with another digital stethoscope to see if it detects sound changes linked to asthma control and medicine that opens the airways.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate a prototype wearable stethoscope designed to record lung sounds and assess asthma control in children and adolescents with asthma aged 4 to 17 years who are able to perform spirometry. The study aims to determine whether the prototype wearable stethoscope can accurately detect clinically meaningful changes in lung sounds associated with asthma control and response to bronchodilator treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the prototype wearable stethoscope demonstrate agreement with recordings obtained from commercially available Thinklabs One Digital Stethoscopes in identifying normal and abnormal lung sounds? * Are lung sounds detected by the prototype wearable stethoscope associated with asthma symptom control as measured by the Childhood Asthma Control Test (cACT) or Asthma Control Test (ACT) Researchers will compare recordings obtained from the prototype wearable stethoscope with recordings obtained from FDA-cleared Thinklabs One Digital Stethoscopes to evaluate the prototype device's ability to detect abnormal lung sounds and changes in lung sounds following bronchodilator treatment.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
