Heartware: smart stethoscope

For my Senior Design capstone project, 3 friends and I set out to see if the routine check-ups all doctors and nurses perform using stethoscopes could be replaced with a single product.

We focused our project scope to specifically heart murmurs, since stethoscopes are used for a wide variety of applications. As a result, Heartware performs 3 key functions:

Filter & capture heart sounds via a piezoelectric element.
Stream recorded data to a server for analysis and learning.
Classify sound to detect murmurs.

The resulting project was selected as the best Electrical & Systems Engineering project of 2019 at the University of Pennsylvania, judged based off the above work, a full product demo, and the following presentation:

This project was a collaboration with Jason Schwartz, Jared Winograd, and Matthew Wolfman. We had our first successful build of the project at 3am the day of this above presentation, which was at 9:05am.
