M3DICINE, a Brisbane, Australia firm, just launched an “AI enabled” electronic stethoscope called Stethee. The device, which we originally profiled a few years ago while it was still a Kickstarter project, can be used like a traditional stethoscope to auscultate patients, but to also amplify, filter, and record sounds, as well as to analyze the sounds with an accompanying smartphone app. It comes in three varieties, specifically indicated for clinical use, veterinary applications, and for medical education and research use.

M3DICINE touts its “Aida” artificial intelligence software that powers the Stethee app, which is capable of providing insights about the recorded sounds and to even create a “biometric signature” based on the gathered data. In addition to the sounds, the app also stores the location and weather data along with each reading. This can help correlate the presence of pollen, for example, to something heard using the device, whether it be for research studies or for a cardiologist’s own curiosity.

Because recordings can be shared with other healthcare professionals, the Stethee has great potential for clinicians working in remote areas and far away from their colleagues.

The product will begin shipping in late February and is now available for pre-order for $499.

Here’s a promo video introducing the Stethee:

The arrival at the Baptist Medical Centre Hospital in Ogbomoso, Nigeria was the start of a short 10 day challenge. To get the ICU equipment in, train the doctors and nurses on the equipment and ICU procedures, train and help Engineering to setup and maintain equipment. At the same time, assist with some medical procedures on critically injured or sick patients.

This latest mission to Ogbomoso, Nigeria was a partnership with Baptist Medical Centre. It gave us an opportunity to share our experience and train doctors and nurses who, ordinarily will not have access to the same educational resources we have here in the U.S. Our objective was, and is, to serve as medical ambassadors and social entrepreneurs, providing the tools and training as well as practical support so medical facilities in emerging nations can create sustainable programs to reduce the mortality rates of children everywhere.
