What an engine is to a car, Stethoscope is to a doctor. Docs can’t simply live without it. So here’s a good news for the docs…a new Stethoscope has been released by 3M that can even record and analyze a heart beat! Called the Littmann Electronic Stethoscope, the device relies on Bluetooth technology for wireless communications.

“While it looks (and for the most part acts) just like a normal stethoscope, it also has noise canceling / sound augmenting technology alongside the ability to record heart and lung sounds, which may then be analyzed using the bundled Zargis StethAssist software.”

Although the price seems to be a little steep ($379), but hey…aren’t docs awfully rich??
