Using a wearable device to detect wheeze in children and adults
A Pilot Study to Assess Aevice Medical Device for Detection of Wheeze in Pediatric and Adult Populations
This study tests if a wearable device can help doctors better detect wheezing in both children and adults compared to the usual listening methods.

What this trial studies
This observational study evaluates the effectiveness of the AeviceMD wearable device in detecting wheeze in pediatric and adult populations. The device captures and processes lung sounds to assist healthcare professionals in diagnosing respiratory conditions. The primary goal is to compare the accuracy of AeviceMD in detecting wheeze against traditional physician auscultation methods. Additionally, the study aims to explore the feasibility of remote auscultation using the device.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include individuals aged 3 years and older who have been diagnosed with acute asthma exacerbation.
Not a fit: Patients with significant comorbidities that may affect their participation or the study's outcomes may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this device could enhance the accuracy of wheeze detection and improve management of respiratory conditions in patients.
How similar studies have performed: While the use of wearable devices for respiratory monitoring is gaining traction, the specific application of AeviceMD for wheeze detection is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
