Santos-Silva, C; Ferreira-Cardoso, H; Silva, S; Vieira-Marques, P; Valente, JC; Almeida, R; Fonseca, JA; Santos, C; Azevedo, I; Jácome, CBackground: The use of a smartphone built-in microphone for auscultation is a feasible alternative to the use of a stethoscope, when applied by physicians. Objective: This cross-sectional study aims to assess the feasibility of this technology when used by parents—the real intended end users. Methods: Physicians recruited 46 children (male: n=33, 72%; age: mean 11.3, SD 3.1 y; children with asthma: n=24, 52%) d...
Lung Auscultation Using the Smartphone-Feasibility Study in Real-World Clinical...
Ferreira-Cardoso, H; Jácome, C; Silva, S; Amorim, A; Redondo, MT; Fontoura-Matias, J; Vicente-Ferreira, M; Vieira-Marques, P; Valente, J; Almeida, RConventional lung auscultation is essential in the management of respiratory diseases. However, detecting adventitious sounds outside medical facilities remains challenging. We assessed the feasibility of lung auscultation using the smartphone built-in microphone in real-world clinical practice. We recruited 134 patients (median[interquartile range] 16[11–22.25]y; 54% male; 31% cystic fibrosis, 29% other respir...
