About this trial
The purpose of this research is to look at an approved intervention (Stethophone application) to obtain additional information about improving detection of moderate or severe aortic stenosis when compared with usual standard of care.
Eligibility criteria
This trial accepts healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age 70 years or older at the time of consent.
Written informed consent from participant
Receiving care at a participating primary care practice during the study period.
Disqualifiers
Known moderate or severe aortic stenosis before enrolment.
Prior surgical or transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator or treating clinician, would preclude informed consent or make participation impractical or unsafe.
Trial design
Crossover
Treatments tested in this trial
Stethophone
DeviceThe device is a FDA \& HC approved mobile application, the Stethophone (developed by Sparrow BioAcoustics), that transforms a smartphone into a digital stethoscope and analytic tool able to identify murmurs that may indicate aortic stenosis.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Number of new diagnosis of moderate or severe aortic stenosis on transthoracic echo/1000 patients screened of patients over 70 years
Determine whether Sparrow app based screening increases the number of patients with a new diagnosis of moderate or severe aortic stenosis confirmed by transthoracic echo within 3 months
Secondary outcomes
Proportion of eligible participants screened during intervention periods
Proportion of eligible participants screened during intervention periods
Distribution of algorithm outputs

Proportion completing transthoracic echocardiography after an abnormal or inconclusive result
Proportion of participants completing transthoracic echocardiography after an abnormal or inconclusive result
Average time from abnormal screen to echocardiography
