Abstract :
The rise of e-health and telemedicine is changing the way medical data is gathered and used. Recently, electronic stethoscopes have been developed by many companies, yet general adoption of the devices is yet to be attained. This is due to the fact that electronic stethoscopes are still quite expensive. Hence, we have developed a low cost implementation to promote the general use of the devices by the healthcare industry.
