A Simple Acoustic Sensor Test Platform for Respiratory and Cardiac Acoustical Monitoring
Abstract
The properties of various acoustic interfaces (stethoscopes) for respiratory monitoring and phonocardiography are compared using a special-purpose custom-built electronic vibration platform that can be driven by an electronic test signal. Sample sensitivity data for various stethoscope designs are presented in this study.
