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.

The secondary objection is validity and accuracy Between HALD Vest Audio Recordings and Clinical Auscultation Findings
Timeframe: 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.
Timeframe: 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.
Timeframe: 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 )
Timeframe: From the time of the applying the vest to the participant to the end of the 4-minute recording period.
