Electronic Stethoscope ES-2020 Becomes MedM-Connected for Remote Patient Monitoring
September 16, 2024
The iBiomedi ES-2020, a single-channel handheld cardiopulmonary electronic stethoscope, has been successfully integrated with the MedM Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) platform. This integration allows caregivers to listen to remotely recorded heart and lung audio from their patients, enhancing remote diagnostics and patient care.
Digital audio is captured from this Bluetooth stethoscope by a MedM patient-facing Android app, securely transferred to a cloud, and delivered for cardiopulmonary monitoring by a qualified medical professional. This setup enables patients in remote areas to receive expert care. The ES-2020 stethoscope can be operated by a nurse or even the monitored patient themselves, provided they receive feedback and guidance from the monitoring doctor. The ES-2020 device also has a standard 3.5 mm audio jack enabling delivery of sound to an external speaker or headphone.
The ES-2020 remote auscultation device offers three modes: heart sound with 20 to 200Hz, lung sound with 100 to 1000 Hz, and full frequency of 20 to1200 Hz. The wireless stethoscope has a display that will indicate the status of battery and Bluetooth pairing, as well as the currently active mode.
“We initially integrated this Telemedicine-compatible stethoscope to meet the needs of a customer focused on providing virtual care to residents in hard-to-reach villages,” comments Victor Sharov, Business Development Director at MedM. “Since then, we’ve seen a growing interest in a connected stethoscope from our other partners who require a reliable remote diagnostic tool for their cardiopulmonary patients,” Victor concludes.
The digital stethoscope is produced by iBiomedi, a company that has for decades developed, designed, and produced microphone-related products, including those for top musical instrument manufacturers. The ES-2020 product is brought to market in partnership with Taidoc, a big name in the manufacturing of medical devices. “We are thrilled to be the exclusive distributor of the ES-2020 electronic stethoscope,” says Kenny Chi, Executive Vice President at Taidoc. “This innovative device is a perfect complement to the extensive range of Taidoc health monitoring solutions. With its advanced telemedicine capabilities, the ES-2020 not only enhances our product lineup, but also enables us, in partnership with MedM, to better support healthcare providers in delivering high-quality, remote cardiopulmonary care to patients in any location.”
