Phonocardiography Using GSM Technology
22-08-2012
Objectives
The main objectives of the proposed work are to: 1. Design a stethoscope (digital) with sufficient amplification (>300X) and noise filtering. 2. Design a microcontroller circuit to transmit the heart sound real time, through a GSM network
to doctors mobile.
3. Build a GUI for the doctors mobile to analyse the heart sound. 4. Conduct trials on normal and abnormal patients.

Possible outcome
1. The heart sound with sufficient amplification is to be obtained. 2. It is to be transmitted through the GSM network to the doctors mobile. 3. The heart sound is to be analysed for pathology by means of audio-visual display of sound, FFT,
