Data Collection Using Eko Digital Devices in a Clinical Setting

The main objectives of the study are to: train and validate binary classifiers for wheeze, coarse crackle, fine crackle, rhonchus, stridor, rales, and cough, as well as determine correspondence between type/location of adventitious lung sound and type of pulmonary condition.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Yes

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Potential research subjects with complaints of shortness of breath or relevant diagnoses like COPD/heart failure/asthma will be screened for eligibility from the upcoming clinic schedule and then recruited during their clinical appointment. Inpatients may also be identified from the EHR and recruited from inpatient units. In order to achieve the harder-to-fill buckets, it may be necessary to directly target existing registries or patient databases, and/or bring patients in for a research-specific visit. Additionally, patients seen in clinic or in hospital with no known respiratory condition will be recruited and evaluated.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients suspected or diagnosed lower respiratory condition OR Presence of wheeze, coarse crackle, fine crackle, rhonchus, stridor, rales, and cough discovered during routine auscultation
  • Normal patients with no adventitious lung sounds
  • Adults patients, over 18 years old
  • Able to provide verbal consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients unable to have multiple recordings taken on chest and back (e.g. compromised mobility)
  • Patients on mechanical ventilation
  • Patients unwilling or unable to provide informed consent

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Primary Objective: Collection of Lung Sound Recordings to Explore Machine Learning Algorithm for Classifying Adventitious Lung Sounds
Time Frame: 14-15 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.
14-15 months
