The Handheld STG™ brings computing power to stethoscopes. Using an output of an electronic stethoscope, the STG displays the sounds that the physician is hearing and stores them on the PDA. These lung and heart sounds can be replayed along with a waveform visualization in the time or frequency domain. Waveform displays reveal diagnostic information often not heard on the auscultation. In addition, the STG software analyzes lung sounds for the presence of abnormal sounds. Wheezes and crackles are counted and displayed on the PDA screen. Captured sounds can be shared with other physicians or saved for future reference.

The Handheld STG can be used as a phonocardiogram and is also designed for the recording, replay, display and automated analysis of lung sounds. STG is the only commercially available device for all of these clinical uses. In addition to STG software, the Handheld STG systems are preinstalled with a comprehensive set of Microsoft applications, including Word, Excel, email, calendar, address book, task manager, notes and dictation. A wide range of clinical handbooks, drug guides and administrative applications are available.

The STG system consists of a Pocket PC (with audio input feature), an electronic stethoscope, STG for Pocket PC™ software for sounds recording, visualization, and analysis running on a Pocket PC and a companion STG for PC™ software for sounds visualization and analysis running on a desktop or notebook computer. Customers can order one of the STG systems or ala carte.

Currently, the only Pocket PCs on the market which have an audio input feature and which have been successfully tested with STG software and STG or Cardionics electronic stethoscopes are HP iPAQs 5450, 5150, 4700, and 2700. We recommend to use HP iPAQ hx 2795, which has been tested with STG Stethoscope, Cardionics E-Scope II, and 3M Littmann 4000 Electronic Stethoscope. It can be purchased from Amazon.com
