Recording lung sounds with Eko digital stethoscopes in clinic

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

In routine clinic visits, clinicians will use Eko CORE and/or CORE 500 digital stethoscopes to record normal and abnormal lung sounds from the chest and back. Recorded sounds will be labeled with clinician-reported findings and clinical context and then used to train and validate a machine learning algorithm to classify wheeze, coarse crackle, fine crackle, rhonchus, stridor, rales, and cough. The study will include adult and pediatric patients as available and capture recordings during standard-of-care encounters. Patients who cannot tolerate multiple recordings or who are on mechanical ventilation are excluded.
