Not only in our enthusiast PC world hardware evolves continuously, but the medical sector always is fast with development as well. This one just makes sense when you think about it.

The stethoscope is one indispensable tool that a doctor possesses, and the 3M Littman Electronic Stethoscope aims to bring a whole new dimension to practicing doctors by helping them diagnose various health conditions better, thanks to features including noise cancellation and sound augmentation.

Of course, it does help if the doctor has pretty good hearing to begin with, but that's not something major worth griping about. The 3M Littman Electronic Stethoscope not only enables one to hear better, it also can record both heart and lung sounds in selected files, allowing software such as Zargis Stethassist to determine beating patterns and any irregularities that crop up. Surely the $379 price tag shouldn't come in the way of doctors doing their job better.
