Brief summary
The purpose of this research is to prospectively train and validate an artificial intelligence machine learning (ML) algorithm to detect the presence of adventitious lung sounds in adults. Clinicians will use the Eko CORE and/or Eko CORE 500 device(s) in real clinical settings to collect normal and abnormal lung sounds, as part of standard of care clinical practice, which will then be used to explore an ML algorithm for classifiers for wheeze, coarse crackle, fine crackle, rhonchus, stridor, rales, and cough, as well as determine any correspondences between the type and/or location of adventitious lung sounds and the type of pulmonary conditions as reported by clinicians.
Interventions
DEVICEEko digital stethoscopes

| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Objective | Through study completion, an average of 8-9 months | The primary objective of this study is to collect normal and abnormal lung sounds of up to 750 patients per study site, by having clinicians use the Eko CORE and/or Eko CORE 500 device(s) in real clinical settings, as part of standard of care clinical practice which will then be used to explore an ML algorithm for classifiers for wheeze, coarse crackle, fine crackle, rhonchus, stridor, rales, and cough, as well as determine any correspondences between the type and/or location of adventitious lung sounds and the type of pulmonary conditions as reported by clinicians. |
