  it has been over 200 years since the conception of the stethoscope and there have been very few improvements to its design in that time.  Fortunately, in the past 5-10 years this has started to change. One of the leaders of stethoscope production, Littmann, has developed a digital device that can amplify and even record auscultated sounds.  Less traditional startup companies have now started entering this space. Eko was one of the first companies to try and reinvent the stethoscope by offering attachments to augment the experience. This design utilizes a Bluetooth connection to a companion app that allows the user to record sounds and visualize the audio tracing of the heart (described as a "phonocardiogram").  They have continued to develop this technology and have implemented ECG tracing and artificial intelligence to their products. In 2020, Eko attained FDA clearance for detection of atrial fibrillation with 99% sensitivity and 97% specificity. They also have clearance
