StethoSense: AI-Powered Smart Diagnostic Stethoscope
StethoSense is an AI-powered smart stethoscope designed to simplify patient monitoring and increase accuracy in noise filled environments such as ambulances. The stethoscope features noise cancellation software and utilizes several microphones to enhance, and more clearly capture the sounds of the heart and lungs. The stethoscope provides an additional feature through the inclusion of sensors monitoring heart rate, blood oxygen levels, and signs of atrial fibrillation. These readings appear on a connected mobile app that guides the user as they place the stethoscope on a patient in real time. In the event of limited or unavailable cellular service, the system will be able to connect through T-Mobile’s network, including satellite connectivity through Starlink. This allows for the device to run and the readings to remain available even with poor internet connection. Additionally, the chest piece will include an addressable LED light ring to assist doctors with placement and reflect battery level. Recordings and sensor readings are saved on the app for future review. The AI implemented into the device and app can analyze the recorded sounds, search for abnormalities, and give feedback through the stethoscope earpieces. The final project will include a working stethoscope prototype, mobile app, sensors, an LED system, and AI analysis.
