Wireless Digital Stethoscope Using Bluetooth Technology

Stethoscopes are used to listen to acoustic signals from the internal organs of the human body. Although stethoscopes play a very important role in the diagnosis process, the chest piece and the connecting cable are known to facilitate transmission of pathogens from patient to patient and from patient to the user. Replacing the connecting cable with a wireless system may help reduce the potential risk and further allow broadcasting of the signals to multi-users for examination. This paper reports on the design of a two-piece Bluetooth-based wireless system that eliminates the connecting cables in electronic stethoscopes.
