Why the study?
Conventional acoustic stethoscopes require substantial clinical experience and hearing skills to accurately diagnose cardiopulmonary abnormalities from body sounds.
Digital stethoscopes utilizing advanced microsensors and wearable bioelectronics offer promising solutions for continuous, wireless cardiopulmonary monitoring and improved diagnostic accuracy over conventional acoustic stethoscopes.
