It provides real-time results after being placed on three locations around the heart for just 30 seconds.
NCH is pioneering the use of these AI stethoscopes, finding significant benefits including identifying 136 new cases of structural heart disease out of over 1000 patients screened. This advancement is helping doctors detect heart issues earlier, enhancing patient care. Read More >
