Eko digital stethoscopes: Use of the Eko CORE 500 digital stethoscope and 3M Littmann CORE Digital Stethoscope to listen for and record lung sounds.
Study summary
The purpose of this research is to collect patient lung sounds in order to develop an artificial machine learning algorithm that can potentially tell a doctor if a patient is at risk of certain lung conditions.

Inclusion Criteria:
* 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

* On mechanical ventilation
Primary outcome measure(s)
Lung Sounds Collected from Number of Patients — Through study completion, an average of 8 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.
