The stethoscope also enters the digital age

What could be more rustic and emblematic accessory of the profession of doctor than a stethoscope? The models currently used and inspired by the Littmann model have not changed since the 1960s.

If since that time many attempts to offer digitized devices have been attempted, they have all failed. However, things could change.The FDA has just validated an invention called Eko.

Rather than replacing the stethoscope, it is grafted onto it without modifying its functioning. However, when it is in place, it is able to send a smartphone a graphic reproduction of the recorded heart sounds, enough to keep them or detect abnormal sounds by software.

It is probably because it does not distort the basic functioning of the device that the Eko managed to obtain its authorization.
