Automated Interpretation of Lung Sounds by Deep Learning in Children With Asthma: Scoping Review and Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats Analysis

Automated Interpretation of Lung Sounds by Deep Learning in Children With Asthma: Scoping Review and Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats Analysis

Since the invention of the stethoscope by René Laennec in 1816, pulmonary auscultation has become a fundamental part of routine physical examination. However, the interpretation of sounds is ultimately limited by the human capacity for auditory perception and cognitive pattern detection. Recent efforts to digitalize auscultation audio allow the recording of sounds that can then be exploited by various software to assist interpretation [7].

Repeatability, Reproducibility, and Concurrent Validity of a Stethoscope and Health App System for the Quantification of Breath Rate in Healthy Adults: Repeatability and Validity Study

Repeatability, Reproducibility, and Concurrent Validity of a Stethoscope and Health App System for the Quantification of Breath Rate in Healthy Adults: Repeatability and Validity Study

Since the app offers little information regarding its effectiveness, the aim of this study was to assess the repeatability and reproducibility of this type of smartphone app using an Android-based operating system when compared with the conventional stethoscope to guide effective use by the general population. Based on the increased use of health-related apps, we hypothesized that no systematic differences between the app and stethoscope measurements would be detected.

A Low-Cost, Ear-Contactless Electronic Stethoscope Powered by Raspberry Pi for Auscultation of Patients With COVID-19: Prototype Development and Feasibility Study

As a safer alternative, some experts have suggested using stethoscopes less frequently and ultrasound more frequently [16], while other experts have stressed the necessity of stethoscope use and auscultation in COVID-19 treatment [9].
