Best Practices for Clear Audio
- Skin Contact: For the highest quality sound, place the stethoscope diaphragm directly on the skin rather than over clothing.
- Pressure: Apply firm, steady pressure. Avoid moving the device during capture to prevent "friction noise."
- Environment: Conduct the exam in a quiet room. Minimize background noise and ask the patient to remain still and avoid speaking.
- Bell vs. Diaphragm: Use the app settings to toggle filters if you need to emphasize low-frequency (heart) or high-frequency (lung) sounds.
Pro Tip: In unguided mode, you can record and playback the audio immediately to ensure the capture is clear before saving it to the exam or sending it to a clinician.
