Detection of Aortic Stenosis With Smartphone Auscultation Using Machine Learning (HEARTBEAT-Pilot)

Sponsor: Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg

Summary

Severe aortic stenosis, a common heart valve issue, is usually treated surgically or through intervention. Diagnosis typically occurs after symptoms appear, but research suggests already treating asymptomatic cases may help patients live longer. Current diagnostics using echocardiography are detailed but time-consuming, prompting the exploration of a smartphone application using built-in microphones and machine learning for quicker and more accessible screening.
