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.
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).
Seoul National University Hospital is the lead sponsor of 1,900 studies on the registry; 274 are open to participants now.
Of its 12 completed or terminated interventional studies of FDA-regulated products, 2 (17%) have results posted.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Men and women were evenly enrolled, and the median age was 65.5 years.
Twenty subjects (43.5%) had systolic murmur, 20 (43.5%) normal heart sound, 5 (10.9%) diastolic murmur, and 1 (2.2%) S4.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.
