babyPHONO
Welcome to the babyPHONO research study website.
We are exploring how digital recordings of babies’ heart sounds could help improve the detection of heart problems in the future.
This research does not change the baby’s usual clinical care.
Participant Information
Newborn baby check (NIPE)
For families invited to take part during their baby’s routine newborn infant physical examination.
We are investigating whether we can obtain good-quality heart sound recordings during the examination, and asking carers and clinicians about their experience.
Echocardiogram (heart scan)
For families with a baby under 3 months already having a heart scan at the Jessop Wing as part of their usual care.
Babies may be eligible if a clinician has heard a heart murmur, or a previous heart scan showed a structural heart defect.
