SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DICTATION WITH A DIGITAL STETHOSCOPE

Abstract

The present description relates to methods and systems for a medical dictation. In one example, a stethoscope includes a first microphone positioned to capture physiological sounds of a patient, a second microphone positioned to capture ambient sounds, one or more processors, and memory storing instructions executable by the one or more processors to: during a stethoscope mode, obtain a first signal from the first microphone and a second signal from the second microphone, process the first signal to capture a physiological sound signal, including performing noise cancellation on the first signal based on the second signal, and transmit the physiological sound signal to an external computing device and/or a speaker of the stethoscope; and during a dictation mode, obtain the second signal from the second microphone, process the second signal to capture a voice signal, and transmit the voice signal to the external computing device.
