AeviceMD for Detection of Wheeze in Pediatric and Adult Populations

Purpose

Respiratory signs and symptoms consisting of wheeze, cough, and breathlessness are obtained in a manual fashion through history taking and physical examination by the healthcare professional. Auscultation of the lung assesses airflow through the trachea-bronchial tree and is helpful in diagnosing various respiratory disorders. AeviceMD is a wearable device that can acquire and process lung sounds, thus assisting in the detection of abnormal lung sounds. The primary objective of this study is to determine if AeviceMD can detect wheeze of pediatrics and adults as accurately as a physician through auscultation. The secondary objective is to investigate if AeviceMD can be used for remote auscultation of breath sounds.
