I asked Dr. Ádám Schmidt to test StethoMe® , the A.I.-enabled digital stethoscope in his pediatrician practice, and here are his observations: "StethoMe is probably a dream device for parents and for doctors to follow up on pulmonary and cardiac diseases. The device is portable, mostly for home use, is sleek and has no buttons to confuse the user. The StethoMe app gives the user comprehensive advice on what and how to do during the examination. The auscultation is recorded with the device and sent via Bluetooth to the phone app, which uploads it to the cloud and is analyzed by the StethoMe AI algorithm. It can be time-consuming and difficult to complete a good enough examination, especially when a child is crying. The StethoMe AI algorithm can’t filter the surrounding noise, and the device itself is quite loud too - because of that, home use can be tricky. Overall, I like the device and find it useful. It can be used at home to decide on the status of your patient. I find it very useful that you can record and play back previous recordings, creating a timeline of data to monitor the evolution of the disease. As an addition, with this function it is easier to teach medical students and educate patients. Looking forward to the progression of the device." #DigitalHealth
