Publication number: 20250143665Abstract: Introduced here is an acoustic collection device that is designed to extend the path along which sound waves can be collected by a microphone. An acoustic collection device can include a tubular body that has (i) a distal interface through which sound waves corresponding to sounds internal to a living body are collected and (ii) a proximal interface through which the sound waves are presented to a microphone. A channel defined by the inner surface of the tubular body extends between the distal and proximal interfaces. The channel allows the sound waves to travel from the distal interface to the proximal interface. The acoustic collection device could be connected to the housing of an electronic device that is used to record the sound waves, or the acoustic collection device could be implemented in an input unit for an electronic stethoscope system.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2025Publication date: May 8, 2025Inventors: Yuan Ren Cheng, Fushun Hsu

Publication number: 20250114061Abstract: Introduced here are electronic stethoscope systems designed to simultaneously monitor sounds originating from within a body under examination and the ambient environment. An electronic stethoscope system can include one or more input units that are connected to a hub unit. Each input unit may have at least one auscultation microphone and at least one ambient microphone. To improve the quality of sound recorded by an input unit, a processor can apply a noise cancellation algorithm that considers as input the audio data produced by the auscultation microphone(s) and the audio data produced by the ambient microphone(s). The audio data may be digitized directly in the input unit, and then transmitted to the hub unit for synchronization. For example, by examining the audio data produced by the ambient microphone(s), the processor may discover which digital artifacts, if any, should be filtered from the audio data produced by the auscultation microphone(s).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2024Publication date: April 10, 2025Inventors: Fushun Hsu, Fu-Ji Tsai, Yuan-Ren Cheng

Publication number: 20240057964Abstract: Introduced here are computer programs and associated computer-implemented techniques for deriving insights into the health of patients through analysis of audio data generated by electronic stethoscope systems. A diagnostic platform may be responsible for examining the audio data generated by an electronic stethoscope system so as to gain insights into the health of a patient. The diagnostic platform may employ heuristics, algorithms, or models that rely on machine learning or artificial intelligence to perform auscultation in a manner that significantly outperforms traditional approaches that rely on visual analysis by a healthcare professional.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Yuan Ren Cheng, Fushun Hsu, Ji-De Huang, Shang-Ran Huang
