iStethoscope

Video Nurse is super excited about the potential for iStethoscope to be used in the medical community.

I reflimed the use of Peter Bentley's iStethoscope app for iPhone to re-explain a few of the features, including the potential for sending a read out of your heart beat recorded as a sonic representation to your doctor or a friend. Also, Chris did a great job of letting you hear the accelerometer, which turns your heart rate into a cool digital sound. The app is both fun and functional.

We found some things on the app to be a bit buggy, including rather hidden instead of obvious buttons to click on to activate the read out, or to email the read out. Chris didn't find them intuitive, and from the consumer perspective, obvious and intuitive is often better than cool looking or discreet. But I take my hat off to Dr. Bentley and those who helped him develop this app, and I hope they'll keep working on it to improve it and create an update for the app.

I have all these apps they're too sensitive and you can't get a good reading while recording.

@Pacerjames Are you using the right headphones? If you use the one that comes with an iDevice, it won't work.

It seems that there is an app for everything now.

@Pacerjames I'm not using the iphone headphones the headphones i'm using are the ones you buy without the speaker on the ear string. It's non-apple ear phones. Thanks
