About
Stethophone does with software what a stethoscope does with a tube and a diaphragm: it captures the low-frequency body sounds a phone microphone was never designed to hear, cleans them, and produces a recording a clinician can listen to, share and store. That removes the instrument from the encounter — a patient can take their own auscultation at home and send it, and a clinician without a stethoscope in hand still gets a usable recording. Because it makes a clinical claim, it is regulated as a medical device rather than shipped as a wellness app, and its availability is country by country: it is currently recognized in the United States, Canada and Ukraine, with the company working toward more. The corporate entity is Sparrow Acoustics Inc., with addresses in St. John's, Newfoundland, Lucasville, Nova Scotia, and Jacksonville, Florida. Mark Opauszky has been chief executive since 2021.
