An electronic stethoscope created in NETI for auscultation – listening to internal organs, such as the organs of the respiratory system, heart, intestines, great vessels, etc., will soon be used to train medical students during their practice.
Tatyana Zheludeva, the main developer of the project, said that the new electronic device differs from a mechanical medical device in the possibility of amplifying sound and the presence of a filtering function that allows listening to a certain frequency range characteristic of a particular organ that need to be heard.
“For example, there’s a bandpass filter with a range of 200 to 500 Hz, which allows you to hear breath sounds, as well as a wider range of 0 to 1000 Hz.”said the student.
“By connecting to a computer, we can record sounds, view their frequency spectrum and send data to doctors or certain medical institutions”said about the merits of the new device.
The development interested the Novosibirsk State Medical University. Your students will test the new device in test mode. They will assess the sound quality and ease of use of the device, as well as build a database of individual organ sounds.
