Abstract
The purpose of research is increasing the diversity of designs of electronic auscultation systems with measured characteristics and testing. A series of articles includes the development of a model of an electronic auscultation system, the development of an electronic stethoscope design, the manufacture of an experimental sample, the development of a method for measuring the amplitude-frequency characteristics of electronic and classical stethoscopes, testing the proposed models and methods, and analyzing auscultatory data. The article proposes a model for constructing electronic auscultation systems in order to expand the variety of technical means of electronic auscultation; an experimental sample is proposed based on the proposed model.
Methods. The research was based on domestic publications and developments in the field of electronic auscultation. To improve the quality of recorded data, based on the classic stethoscope head, an electronic stethoscope head has been developed that provides high sensitivity to breath sounds in a wide frequency range, providing a uniform frequency response in the operating frequency range.
Results. Based on the proposed model, an experimental sample of the electronic auscultation system was developed.
Conclusion. A model of an electronic auscultation system is proposed, and a design of an electronic stethoscope head with a wide bandwidth is proposed. In the future, testing and measurement of the amplitude-frequency characteristics of the electronic auscultation system is required.
