iStethoscope Pro is the first piece of software (an "App") produced for iOS devices, which enabled users to exploit their smartphones, music players, or tablets as stethoscopes. The software exploits the built-in microphone (and supports externally added microphones) and performs real-time amplification and filtering to enable heart sounds to be heard with high fidelity. The software also enables the heart sounds to be recorded, analyzed using a spectrogram, and to be transmitted to others via e-mail. This chapter describes the motivation, functionality, and results from this work.
iStethoscope Pro是首款为iOS设备开发的软件(一款“应用程序”),它能让用户将智能手机、音乐播放器或平板电脑用作听诊器。该软件利用内置麦克风(并支持外接麦克风),进行实时放大和滤波,以便能高保真地听到心音。该软件还能记录心音,通过频谱图进行分析,并通过电子邮件发送给他人。本章介绍了这项工作的动机、功能和成果。
