Stethoscope Resources

September 11, 2025

Digital  stethoscopes can be used to listen to a patient’s heart, lung , and bowel sounds at a distance.  Most stethoscopes will require separate software to transmit their sounds to the far end provider. Some stethoscopes can be supported by software from multiple different developers, so it is often worthwhile to look at a variety of software solutions before making a selection. Some stethoscopes will connect via USB connection to a PC computer.  Others will connect via  Bluetooth, or microphone jack connectors.  Some stethoscopes connect directly to mobile devices, turning those devices into mobile stethoscope platforms. Other stethoscopes can support a single lead ECG embedded in the stethoscope chest piece.
