Heart Disorder clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

Clinical Validation of Tele-stethoscope System Digital

TeleCáceres

Start date: August 27, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Acute respiratory infections and other respiratory and cardiology diseases like COPD or heart failure are important causes of morbidity and mortality around the world. Telemedicine is defined as the delivery of health care and the sharing of medical knoledge over distances using telecommunication systems. Inexpensive techologies offer the possibility of a direct, real-time connection between the patient or the other end. These technologies help to the physicians to manage different symptoms and cardio-respiratory diseases. A real-time wireless tele-stethoscopy system was designed to allow a physician to receive real-time cardio-respiratory sounds from a remote auscultation, as well as video images showing where the technician is placing the stethoscope on the patient´s body. Actually, the lack of physicians in rural areas of developing countries makes difficult their correct diagnosis and treatment. Furthermore, in the majority of health systems, the patients are shared between primary care and medical specialty in hospitals. The tele-stethoscopy system through telemedicine could help to the physicians or health-care technicians in the majority of health systems and especially in rural areas of developing countries without physicians to manage the patients. For this reason, the goal of this project is the clinical validation of an open real-time tele-stethoscope systme (EHAS-Fundatel digital stethoscope) previously designed, with different specialist (pneumologists, cardiologists and internists.)
