This stethoscope can listen to blood flow ultra miniature and can be monitored 24/7

The Verge Chinese Station reported on November 18

At the thought of hearing the heartbeat, I am afraid that in our minds there will be a traditional stethoscope with long hose connections and one end on the other end of the chest hanging on the doctor's ear. Recently, a miniature wearable stethoscope with the size of a band-aid has been successfully developed. And this miniature stethoscope is different from the traditional stethoscope can only hear the heartbeat for a period of time, which can provide the clinician with heartbeat detection for a whole day. Until now, this miniature stethoscope has been tested on chickens and a few patients.

According to an article published in the journal Science on this miniature stethoscope, the overall size of the device is even smaller than a penny coin. And as long as the user wears this device, he can listen to the heartbeat 24/7.

Although this miniature stethoscope looks very simple, it is as casual as a temporary tattoo on the skin. However, despite its small size, the Sparrow has an extremely sensitive accelerometer built into it and can detect heart beats through the body's blood and body. At this stage, this miniature stethoscope communicates with the computer through a wire device. In the near future, the R&D team is also working on adding a Bluetooth module that will allow it to connect directly to a smartphone.

At present, this miniature stethoscope has not yet entered the commercialization process, but the original aim of the R&D team was to enable it to be applied to the clinician's practice as well as the actual operation of the sleep snoring study.

In addition to being able to detect heartbeat, this miniature stethoscope can also monitor the wearer's throat vibrations. As a result, the future may also be applied to the field of speech therapy. At the same time, the miniature stethoscope can also be applied to the rehabilitation monitoring of athletes or physical therapy patients.

At the same time, John Rogers and Jae-Woong Jeong, who are involved in R&D, said that in clinical practice, the monitoring of physical data that determines the therapeutic effect is often very difficult and expensive. Now that this miniature stethoscope has been successfully developed, if it can be applied to the clinical treatment field, this dilemma can be alleviated to a great extent. And more importantly, this type of detection will make patients feel more at ease and relaxed. Because they would think that experts have always been concerned about my condition, but it is only remotely away.

In addition to the corresponding functions and applications described earlier, this miniature stethoscope has other unparalleled advantages. First of all, this miniature stethoscope is very soft and the wearer can move freely and relax himself. Second, it is very good at stretching and stretching. More importantly, the miniature stethoscope uses a waterproof, breathable material that allows the sweat to evaporate directly from beneath the sticker.

As mentioned earlier, this miniature stethoscope is currently in clinical trials. R&D personnel have tried trials with chicken breasts and humans. In the future, R&D personnel also hope that it can be applied to internal monitoring of the body, such as cardiac pacemakers placed in the heart.

In addition, the R&D team is also using this miniature stethoscope for verbal communication tests. Because this stethoscope monitors not the normal sound waves but the vibrations of the throat, it means that they can use them to communicate with each other in a noisy environment and ensure information security.
