A motley crew of four engineering and computer science students at Calvin College is developing a portable electronic stethoscope as a student side project. The project, dubbed Rhythm Reloaded, is focused on building an embedded unit that will run on Linux and feature these capabilities:
Record high-quality audio data from a patient’s body Store this audio data in a convenient format Use a USB interface to transfer the audio files to a computer Reduce the amount of ambient noise that a doctor hears Be simple, accurate, and easy to use!
