Study summary

The purpose of this research is to develop a body voice artificial intelligence (AI) recognition device, also referred to as an AI-assisted body sound identification device, by utilizing a deep learning-based novel AI algorithm in conjunction with a big body voice model. It could identify normal and abnormal heart, breath, and bowel sounds, and to provide early screening and auxiliary diagnosis of congenital heart disease (CHD), respiratory infections, diarrhea and other common multi-occurring diseases.

Read the detailed description

The study employed a multicenter cross-sectional design. The real-world data collected for this study included normal and definitively diagnosed heart sounds in children with congenital heart disease, normal and definitively diagnosed respiratory tract infections in children with breath sounds, specific cough sounds, and normal and definitively diagnosed children's bowel sounds with diarrhea. The specialist team will carry out data governance, annotation, and feature sound extraction on the gathered normal and aberrant sounds, in order to generate a superior multimodal training dataset. Large model artificial intelligence algorithms (deep learning, machine learning, etc.) are used to model and train the algorithm model of the body voice AI recognition device, so that it can distinguish between normal and abnormal sound signals by AI. The results of body sound AI identification will be compared with diagnostic reports from echocardiograms, chest X-rays, and belly X-rays in terms of AUC (Area Under Curve) score, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy to evaluate the impact of AI recognition devices on illness screening and supplementary diagnosis. External validation will be conducted using homogeneous data from other sites. This project aims to develop a new generation of intelligent sound auscultation instruments that could be used for early screening and auxiliary diagnosis of congenital heart disease , respiratory infections, diarrhea and other common multi-occurring diseases by utilizing large model artificial intelligence technologies.

  2. Children (0-18 years old) with bronchopneumonia confirmed by chest imaging examination and children without bronchopneumonia confirmed by imaging.
  3. Children (0-18 years old) with abdominal imaging confirmed abdominal disease and children diagnosed without abdominal disease by imaging.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Age 0\~18 years old, gender is not limited
  2. Children who have been diagnosed with congenital heart disease by cardiac ultrasound or who do not have congenital heart disease
  3. Children diagnosed with bronchopneumonia or without bronchopneumonia
  4. Children who are clinically diagnosed with intestinal diseases or who do not suffer from intestinal diseases

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. ≥ 18 years old
  2. Children who are unable to undergo cardiac ultrasound, chest imaging or other related examinations
  3. Subjects who are unable to obtain , or who are unwilling to cooperate with the provision of diagnosis and treatment related data for further analysis and research as required by the study.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

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.

Informed consent

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.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 12, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
