A proven cardiac signal platform built for medical use

The downloadable application transforms your smartphone into a professional grade cardiac assessment tool suitable for both home and clinical use. The platform provides structured cardiac information, reproducible signal capture, and clinically interpretable outputs that support informed decision making across a wide range of care settings.

Stethophone Pro is an electronic stethoscope that enables detection, amplification, filtering, and transmission of auscultation sound data (heart and lungs), whereby a clinician at one location can listen to the auscultation sounds of a patient acquired on site or at a different location. Stethophone Pro is intended for use on adult patients. Stethophone Pro is not intended for self-diagnosis and not intended to be used as a sole means of diagnosis. Stethophone Pro can be used in clinical and nonclinical environments.

For Rx-only: Stethophone Pro is intended to provide decision support to clinicians in their evaluation of patients' heart sounds. The software analyzes heart sounds and phonocardiograms and can automatically detect murmurs that may be present, sound timing and character, including S1, S2, and the absence of a heart murmur. The interpretations of heart sounds offered by the software are not diagnoses and are meant only to provide decision support to the clinician, who may use the result in conjunction with their own evaluation and clinical judgment.

For OTC: When used without access to the automatic analysis feature or under supervision of healthcare professional, Stethophone Pro is also intended to be used by lay users.

What is AI Phonoscopy?

Cardiac sound is an immediate and information-rich reflection of heart function. Subtle changes in frequency, timing, and amplitude often reveal early signs of structural or rhythmic dysfunction long before symptoms appear.

Stethophone Pro employs a proprietary form of machine learning called AI phonoscopy to enhance, interpret, and visualize these cardiac signals. This process reveals patterns that may be missed during routine evaluation, particularly in early or intermittent disease.

Trained on millions of heart cycles

Stethophone Pro models are trained on millions of heart cycles reviewed by experts in phonoscopy and structural disease. This combination of clinical expertise and data scale produces outputs that are reproducible, evidence-based, and clinically interpretable. Development focuses on sensitivity for early recognition while maintaining the specificity clinicians need to make confident decisions. Each model iteration is evaluated against expert-labeled datasets and independent validation studies, ensuring that the versions reaching the field meet clinical standards for accuracy and reliability.

Clinical confidence starts with the data

Every feature of Stethophone Pro is built around a single principle: reliability in real-world care. Development is guided by collaboration with global leaders in diagnostics and structural disease.

The platform’s bioacoustic models are trained and validated on diverse clinical datasets, supporting consistent performance across patient populations, comorbidities, and care environments. The underlying dataset includes millions of heart sounds corresponding to conditions confirmed by echocardiography.

This breadth ensures that model behavior is grounded in clinically confirmed variation rather than narrow or idealized samples, improving both sensitivity and specificity in general practice.

Full frequency signal capture and analysis

Stethophone Pro records sound with a near flat frequency response across the full spectrum of cardiac and thoracic signals. All incoming sound is captured without artificial emphasis or suppression.

Recordings undergo automated medical quality checks at the moment of capture. The system identifies and removes artifacts such as handling noise, transient clicks, or signal shifts that interfere with interpretation.

These steps preserve diagnostic value and ensure that downstream analysis reflects true physiology rather than contamination or distortion.

improvement in diagnostic audio quality

The leading medical audio filtering

Traditional listening is limited by human hearing and makes certain frequency ranges difficult to perceive simultaneously. This has historically introduced subjectivity into decision making.

Stethophone Pro removes this barrier through patented signal processing that preserves medical accuracy and nuance. The audio presented to clinicians is clear and balanced, making subtle structural or rhythmic findings easier to confirm and communicate.

The leading AI-powered medical reviewing

The system provides immediate, high-sensitivity murmur detection capable of identifying soft or faint signals often associated with early to moderate structural disease. Murmur indicators are mapped directly onto synchronized visual playback tools that show both audio and graphic representations of the heart cycle.

Intervals, rhythm features, and arrhythmia patterns are analyzed simultaneously and displayed in a clinically intuitive format. Outputs are securely shareable to support provider to provider collaboration or remote patient transmission, enabling faster review and more coordinated care.

Designed to work anywhere patients are seen

Stethophone Pro was built to remove friction from cardiac assessment. Every aspect of its design, from signal capture to user interface, reflects our goal of making high quality cardiac information available to anyone involved in care, from specialists to frontline providers and community health workers.
No specialized hardware, no calibration, and no maintenance. The platform deploys quickly and operates within existing workflows, supporting both independent use and integrated use in hospitals, telemedicine programs, and research environments.
This focus on practical design ensures reliable performance wherever care is delivered. By providing structured cardiac information in virtually any clinic or home setting, the system helps identify at-risk patients earlier, even when the visit is unrelated to a cardiac concern. This moves more people into the right care path sooner and supports more effective use of diagnostic and specialist resources.

Designed to work at scale

Stethophone Pro can be deployed to thousands of clinicians, frontline workers, or patients at home with a simple download.

Built in guidance supports consistent use
An intuitive interface reduces training burden
Secure data handling and controlled sharing protect information
Geographically localized data centers support regional compliance
Use as a standalone tool or integrate with existing EHR systems

These capabilities allow health systems to introduce structured cardiac data at scale without the operational or infrastructure demands associated with traditional devices.
