The goal of this observational study is to learn whether the HALD investigational device can accurately record heart, and lung sounds during a routine cardiology clinic visit.
The main question aims to answer:
Can the HALD device capture heart and lung sounds in different positions and during deep breaths, and do these recordings match the sounds assessed by the investigator during a physical exam?
Participants will have a clinical assessment performed by the investigator as per clinic standard of care. After which, the HALD device vest will be applied to the chest of the participant , and heart and lung sounds will be recorded in a series of positions. The recordings will be transferred automatically to a computer and will later be listened to and assessed for accuracy.
The information collected will be used for research purposes to help understand how the device vest may be used in the future.
This study is looking at how well the HALD device can record heart and lung sounds during a routine cardiology clinic visit. All participants will have a required clinic exam and ECG performed. Participants who qualify and agree to participate will put on a T-shirt and wear the HALD vest while heart and lung sounds are recorded in several positions, including lying down and sitting, with normal and deep breaths. The recorded sounds will later be compared to what the investigator heard during the exam to check for validity and accuracy. All recordings are saved securely and will be used to help researchers understand how the device could support heart and lung assessments in the future.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| The secondary objection is validity and accuracy Between HALD Vest Audio Recordings and Clinical Auscultation Findings | The number of participants recorded heart and lung sounds from the HALD vest that match the clinical cardiologist auscultation findings as evaluated by a blinded cardiologists interpretations | From initiation of the first vest recording position to the end of the 4-minute recording period. |
| Feasibility of HALD Vest Use: Outcome Measure: Feasibility of applying the HALD vest in a clinical setting, including ease of donning, participant comfort, workflow integration, and successful acquisition of heart and lung audio recordings. | 1. Percentage of participants who rated putting on the vest (with CRC assistance) as easy on a 5-point Likert scale (0 = very easy to 4 = very difficult). | From the time of the applying the vest to the participant to the end of the 4-minute recording period. |
| To assess participant overall physical comfort while wearing the vest in the varying recording positions. | Percentage of participants rating comfort while wearing the vest on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = very comfortable to 5 = very uncomfortable). | From initiation of the first vest recording position to the end of the 4-minute recording period. |
| Measure the degree of difficulty for the research team to perform tasks required of the HALD vest device ( fitting the vest on the participant, positioning for recordings, obtaining recordings and data entry in computer ) | Percentage of CRCs rating the overall HALD vest workflow (fitting the vest, positioning the participant, obtaining recordings, and entering data into the SonoHL system) on a 5-point Likert scale from very easy to very difficult. | From the time of the applying the vest to the participant to the end of the 4-minute recording period. |
