Your Heart 2.0 (IMAGE)

Computer simulations and machine learning can lay the groundwork for algorithms to improve diagnostic accuracy of auscultation. Research from Johns Hopkins University demonstrates how virtual stethoscope recordings from biomechanics simulations (left) can be used to develop such an algorithm, which can accurately recognize acoustic features of heart sounds from healthy (top right) and stenotic (bottom right) aortic valves. Such technology can alleviate the diagnostic subjectivity of manual auscultation and enable at-home, inexpensive self-monitoring. Credit: Shantanu Bailoor
