@nikitabier Our goal was to give physicians and nurses a better tool for listening to heart and lung sounds (auscultation). The stethoscope as a tool has remained almost completely unchanged for the last 200 years, and it's a very challenging tool to use. Heart and lung sounds can have minute differences between healthy and unhealthy sounds. A big portion of the challenge is that you can only hear the audio, and there's no way to visualize it as well. We enable this by live streaming the audio over BLE to the smartphone or tablet and displaying a live waveform.

@bentossell We got started while students at UC Berkeley. I was working with a Medical Resident at UCSF and he mentioned that stethoscopes are incredibly hard to use. They provide huge amounts of value as a beside diagnostic tool, but they require significant amounts of training to use effectively. We wanted to build a tool that would enable physicians to visualize audio audio in real time, allow them to save sounds for future reference, attach them to the patients medical record, and share them remotely with other clinicians. In the long term, were excited to take our tech to consumers and use it as a tool for at home monitoring.

@t_duchemin Thanks Thibault!
