Abstract

This study presented to insert a small-scaled microphone of the ear-set of a smart mobile (Amazing A6, Taiwan MobileTM) into an eartip of the stethoscope, the sound can be transmitted by the mobile when it dialed to another phone or mobile. In this study, we employed another smart phone (Galaxy R GT19103, SamsungTM) to be the receiver. The results were showed by spectrogram which demonstrated the components of frequencies of the sounds. Finally, we proposed to improve the study by database.
