After 200 years of stagnancy, the stethoscope has finally evolved from the traditional tube with earpiece to a handheld wireless device, which changes the way medical practitioners perform auscultation altogether.
Stethee will not only help medical practitioners to listen to the heart and lungs with detailed and accurate analysis, but will also "empower remote and rural healthcare through simple and yet precise surveillance and detection of heart and lung diseases".
