摘要

Mobile smartphones have revolutionized the concept of mobile phones as different apps are built to offer various interesting applications in healthcare, gaming, etc. rather than using the phone only for voice services. The application developers take advantage of onboard sensors, web connectivity and powerful processing units of the smartphones to develop such interesting apps. In this paper, we present an interesting approach where direct acoustic coupling technique is employed to quickly and conveniently convert the smartphones into high quality digital stethoscope by using an ultra-low cost attachment. The design consideration primarily focused on affordability, simplicity and use-friendly aspects into account. The motivation of this work is to enable the heart patients to send their heart sound to doctor's chamber/ hospitals from their home instead of travelling all the way to hospitals/clinics. This is particularly useful in poor or developing countries where there is scarcity of healthcare centers and patients have to travel a long distance to visit the clinic. The situation becomes more serious in case of patients who went through heart surgery and requires follow up visits or for elderly population requiring routine checkups. For both the cases, in many instances, doctors primarily listen to the heart sound to prescribe further actions. Our solution can greatly help such situations and in many cases it can completely eliminate the travel. In addition, since data can also be recorded and saved, this opens up possibility for statistical analysis to further aid the diagnosis / monitoring. Thus, our solution can serve as a viable tool in connected health use cases for heart patients for needy geography.
