LungPass, the world's most affordable and accurate AI-powered Bluetooth stethoscope, has been developed by Healthy Networks, a company based in Talinn, Estonia. The device can analyze sounds from the lungs and help to diagnose or monitor a variety of respiratory conditions, with an initial focus on pneumonia and COPD.
Having a system that allows patients to assess their own condition remotely could be hugely valuable, saving costly trips to the doctor or suggesting that indeed that cough is something more serious and worth a trip to the hospital. The stethoscope can also assist clinicians in identifying respiratory illnesses, as detecting and correctly spotting the subtle sounds of respiratory disease can be challenging when using a regular stethoscope, especially if inexperienced in auscultation.
