Wireless Digital Stethoscope

Abstract

n view of the recent Covid-19 epidemic, which enforced tight social distance standards on people's safety. We came up with a concept of a wireless stethoscope that would not only help doctors but also patients to adhere to regulations on social distancing. It also provides patient’s metrics from the patient's home so as the medical authorities can engage patients to recover remotely and safely. It can also be implemented in ICU wards, which would further lower the risk faced by medical workers. The data obtained from the patient’s end is passed on to the doctors and can be saved for future reference.This project gives a reliable alternative that is more public centric, i.e. accessible to all sections of the population, by cutting the cost of the device and digitalizing the capabilities of an acoustic stethoscope. Because of the system's simplicity, a non-medical practitioner may operate this electronic stethoscope with ease.
