Clinical Trial Summary

This study generates robust, uniform clinical data across emerging COVID-19 strains to train ML/AI algorithms of the Sponsor's imPulse™ Una infrasound-to-ultrasound e-stethoscope for digital diagnostic feature synthesis of asymptomatic and symptomatic COVID-19 digital biosignatures for rapid and accurate adult and child mass screening.

Description:

For the next few years or more, the planet probably won't have enough vaccine for everyone. Even as countries with large COVID-19 vaccination programs start pushing to resume travel and trade:

We will not know who is vaccinated and who is not . We will not know who is an (a)symptomatic COVID-19 carrier and who is not.

Because of this, the global community will remain in various stages of masking, social distancing, lock-down, and limited congregation because of cyclical COVID-19 spikes and people will continue to feel unsafe and afraid as novel COVID-19 variants appear and disappear.

This large-scale, multi-site, multi-national study is informed by a completed pilot study at Johns Hopkins- NCT04556149. This study is designed to validate the ability of the imPulse™ Una infrasound-to-ultrasound e-stethoscope to rapidly and accurately screen outpatients with and without confirmed COVID-19 with sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value matching (PPA >95%) for early, accurate, and rapid, self-directed and point-of-care diagnosis of COVID-19 in areas still lagging in access to vaccines.

Intervention

Device:
• imPulse™ Una infrasound-to-ultrasound e-stethoscope
The imPulse™ System is an every/anywhere-point-of-care cardiopulmonary functional state assessment platform designed to capture normal and abnormal, audible and inaudible cardiopulmonary sounds, rhythms and patterns, via a real-time, intelligent, full-spectrum phonocardiogram obtained from direct to skin coupling or through a layer of clothing.

Diagnostic Test:
• (PPA >95%) FDA EUA RT-PCR
Real-time RT-PCR that detects amplified SARS-CoV-2 genome in sputum, nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal swabs, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, nasal or nasopharyngeal aspirate, and lower respiratory tract aspirates.

Radiation:
• HR-CT-scan
High-resolution computer tomography, or CT/CAT, is an X-ray scan that produces images of the chest and is used as a confirmatory test in symptomatic patients that have a negative PCR test.
