HUG clinical pilots · edge-AI analysis · Bluetooth integration with a medical device
Context
Pneumoscope combines a digital stethoscope, mobile app, and analysis algorithms to help medical teams capture and interpret respiratory sounds.
The core challenge: connect a Bluetooth device, keep the clinical experience simple, and run AI processing directly on the smartphone.
What we built
- Mobile app connected to the stethoscope through Bluetooth BLE.
- Audio capture workflow adapted to a clinical context.
- Embedded AI integration for real-time analysis.
- Robust mobile architecture for an experimental medical device.
