Traditional stethoscopes struggle in noisy, fast-paced environments. Subtle heartbeats and breaths can easily go unnoticed, causing stress for clinicians and risk for patients. ScopeFace amplifies, records, and replays these vital sounds clearly to give clinicians certainty and patients peace of mind.
Capture high-quality sound with a microphone tuned for clinical precision. ScopeFace makes sure every heartbeat and breath is clearly recorded and stored.
Play back recordings instantly through our companion app. Whether for review or reassurance, you can revisit and share audio when it matters most.
Clear, amplified sound gives clinicians certainty, transforming subtle heartbeats and breaths into confidence for patient care.
ScopeFace is a digital stethoscope designed for modern care. By combining smart hardware with an intuitive app, it turns auscultation into a powerful, repeatable tool.
ScopeFace features an integrated MEMS microphone precisely capturing vital heart and lung sounds while suppressing ambient noise. Strategically placed directly beneath the stethoscope diaphragm, it minimizes acoustic loss at the source. After initializing a 30-second recording, the full high-fidelity audio file is transmitted via WiFi, ensuring that no critical sounds are dropped or degraded, preserving precision from stethoscope to cloud.
Encased in a lightweight, portable shell crafted from 3D-printed PETG, ScopeFace was designed for easy adaptation, iteration, and deployment. With built-in WiFi, it supports wireless connectivity and detachable use, ideal for clinical settings. It is powered by the XIAO ESP32-S3 board, enabling future integration of on-device machine learning to enable real-time classification of abnormal heart and lung sounds.
Our iOS app was designed with clinicians in mind. Simple flows, clean visuals, and secure access make it easy to tag, take notes, and replay recordings on the go.
Experience ScopeFace in action to see how to effortlessly record clear heart and lung sounds, amplify critical audio, and seamlessly capture session notes at your fingertips.
We built ScopeFace through research, iteration, and clinical feedback. From selecting components to refining design, each step brought us closer to a tool that works where it counts.
Our conversations with clinicians highlighted a clear need: a simple, affordable way to amplify and replay heart and lung sounds. Every step of our design process was shaped directly by these insights.
We started with clinicians' essential needs, sourcing a microphone precisely tuned to heart and lung sounds. Testing ensured reliability and clarity in diverse clinical settings.
Our secure pipeline smoothly transfers audio from device to app, clearly labeling and safely storing each recording for instant, uncompromised playback.
Built in SwiftUI, our app offers an elegant and intuitive experience, making recording, note-taking, tagging, and playback seamless. Clinicians can effortlessly manage and revisit sessions with clarity.
We designed and tested a 3D-printed shell for usability and durability. Feedback from early users shaped our design, prioritizing comfort, durability, and ease of use in every iteration.
Secure user authentication and organized data storage via Firebase ensures each recording is easily traceable, protected, and conveniently linked to clinician profiles.
