Stethophone Information
Frequently Asked Questions
Even if Stethophone detects a heart murmur or any rhythm abnormality, we believe that found issues should be checked out. It's important not to attempt self-diagnosis. A heart murmur can be benign or a possible symptom of multiple heart conditions. To ensure the most accurate health assessment, it's essential to show or send the recordings to a healthcare professional for diagnosis.
It's important to remember that Stethophone is not a standalone diagnostic tool. It is designed to support the diagnostic process, not replace professional medical judgment. Its role is to complement clinical assessments and assist healthcare professionals in making informed decisions about patient care.

Stethophone AI performs basic analysis of heart sounds allowing to detect the presence of murmurs, locate heartbeats on the timeline (S1/S2), and calculate timing between them.
Stethophone provides AI-enhanced visualization that helps your doctor to evaluate the heart sound. Some low-frequency heart sounds are so quiet that they are challenging to detect, even for a trained ear. Such sounds, however, are easy to notice using visualization. And vice versa, high-frequency sounds are easier to hear but more challenging to visualize. Besides, the AI conveniently highlights S1/S2 sounds for easy analysis, detects heart rate and murmurs, and offers several charts on heart sound timing/heart rhythm. So, healthcare professionals can detect symptoms quicker and more efficiently when they can review the AI analysis summary as well as simultaneously listen and look at the visualization.
Stethophone is a Class II medical device holding a license from Health Canada. This means that you are officially allowed to share the results of AI analysis with your healthcare professional who can then use Stethophone during diagnostic process. While Stethophone itself does not provide the diagnosis, it can assist in evaluating your symptoms and determining your medical diagnosis.
The AI-enhanced analysis and visualization provide decision support for your healthcare professional. When you record your symptoms at home as soon as they occur, you help your healthcare professional by providing critical information and evidence that can be crucial for the correct diagnosis. AI can detect symptoms like heart murmurs or rhythm alterations. While these symptoms can be innocent or indicate heart disease, only your healthcare professional can fully interpret the AI analysis results and confirm your diagnosis.
