Testing a mobile heart scanner to find heart disease in families

This trial is testing a portable, smartphone-based heart scanner (called AliveCor KardiaMobile 6L) that uses artificial intelligence to detect early signs of a heart condition called dilated cardiomyopathy. If you have this condition, researchers are inviting your adult relatives to use this simple device at home or at a clinic to see if it encourages them to get proper heart screening. The goal is to find out if this easy-to-use technology helps catch heart problems early in families where the condition runs.

Dilated cardiomyopathy often runs in families, but many relatives of affected patients never get screened for the condition until it becomes serious. Researchers hope this mobile, artificial intelligence-enhanced heart scanner will make screening easier and more accessible, encouraging more family members to check their heart health early when treatment can help most.
