Article Synopsis
- Researchers explored how well non-medical users can record heart sounds using a smartphone app called Echoes, focusing on factors like phone version, age, sex, and BMI.
- * A study involving 1,148 users resulted in over 7,500 recordings, with more than 80% producing at least one good-quality heart sound.
- * The findings suggest that while smartphones can effectively capture heart sounds, age might influence recording quality, while phone hardware, gender, and BMI do not significantly impact success rates.
