Main Study - The Percentage of Collected Auscultation Points
For each participants the auscultation sound files were collected at 12 points of the body. In each defined region of the participant's body, auscultation was to be performed to maximize the sound quality according to the investigator's experience. Auscultations were recorded using a Littmann Digital Stethoscope (Model 3200) and the 3M Littmann StethAssist software on a computer provided for the study. The unit of the measure is "Percentage of auscultation points collected per participants".
