Key result
IoT digital stethoscopes offer remote monitoring potential but require further clinical validation and noise reduction.
Why the study?
Advances in IoT and digital health offer new opportunities for remote monitoring, but connected digital stethoscopes still face challenges in noise, signal quality, security, and clinical validation.
IoT-enabled digital stethoscopes combined with AI offer promising capabilities for remote cardio-respiratory monitoring, though significant technical and clinical validation hurdles remain.

May support remote cardio-respiratory monitoring; leaves open noise, signal quality, and validation hurdles before clinical use.
Rathod et al. (2026) conducted a review in Cardio-respiratory monitoring. IoT-enabled digital stethoscopes was evaluated. IoT-enabled digital stethoscopes demonstrate opportunities for remote cardio-respiratory monitoring, but require further research to address environmental noise, signal quality, and clinical validation.
