Analysts’ Viewpoint
Digital stethoscope enhances the ability of an electronic stethoscope to amplify and filter sound by converting audio signals into digital ones that can be shared in real-time. Advanced connectivity enables clinicians to connect multiple devices and link them to applications in real-time, thus displaying visual sound and electrical waves alongside the audio feed. This helps improve diagnostic accuracy.
Wireless connection between clinicians and patients via digital devices helps overcome geographical access barriers frequently encountered in health systems. These innovative solutions have transformed traditional healthcare practice into a virtual health & telemedicine platform.
Demand for digital stethoscopes is rising across the globe, primarily in North America and Europe, due to the high prevalence of cardiovascular diseases. Companies are launching new products to expand their global footprint and product portfolio.
Digital stethoscope can convert acoustic sounds into electronic signals, which can then be amplified for better listening. These electronic signals can be processed and digitalized before being transmitted to a personal computer or laptop. Data acquisition, preprocessing, and signal processing are the three modules that make up the digital stethoscope. A microphone and piezoelectric sensor are part of the data acquisition module.
Digital stethoscope controls filtering, buffering, and amplification of audible sounds, as well as converts acoustic sounds into digital signals. The preprocessing module cleans up any artifacts in the digital signal. The digital data is then sent to the signal-processing module, which packages the information in a higher-order classification and clusters the data for a clinical diagnostic decision. Almost all digital stethoscopes available in the market allow for the selection of different frequency response modes. This enables the listener to better hear sounds from the heart, lungs, and other parts of the body.
Technological development in digital stethoscopes is one of the primary drivers that is expected to drive the global market during the forecast period. Healthcare specialists are using electronic stethoscopes with Bluetooth wireless capability to get the best results while monitoring their patients. Digital stethoscopes can magnify recorded sounds and review them on a visual display. The signal processing module aids in the classification and collection of data for diagnostic purposes.
Digital stethoscopes allow users to choose from a number of frequency response modes, making it easier to assess sounds from the lungs, heart, and other body parts. For instance, the 3M Littmann Stethoscope Range includes a piezoelectric sensor that reduces ambient noise using an adaptive noise canceller and allows for sound amplification up to 24 times. A high-tech digital stethoscope can also stream heartbeats to smartphones.
Record and replay features of digital stethoscopes help medical professionals retain medical information. Steth IO’s smartphone-based digital stethoscope for iPhones (module 6 and above) is used to record a patient’s heart rate and lung noises. Other innovative features make this device popular among end-users. Thus, emergence of innovative and advanced digital stethoscopes is likely to augment diagnostic testing in the near future.
In terms of application, the cardiac and pulmonary disease segment held significant market share in 2021. Increase in prevalence of cardiac and pulmonary diseases across the globe is anticipated to drive market progress during the forecast period.
Digital stethoscope can accurately record the heart sound. Increase in focus of manufacturers on developing digital stethoscopes for accurate diagnosis of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases is projected to augment the global market statistics during the forecast period.
Based on end-user, the hospitals & primary centers segment accounted for the largest global market share in 2021. Rise in adoption of technologically advanced products in hospitals and primary centers is driving the segment.
The sounds that digital stethoscopes records can also be stored. This helps in reviewing a patient's condition over time in hospitals. Additionally, some digital stethoscopes have wireless connectivity that enables doctors to share the results with other medical professionals or review them later. Demand for digital stethoscopes is rising among specialists as well as general hospital physicians across the globe. Thus, the digital stethoscope market size is likely to increase during the forecast period.
North America is projected to dominate the global industry during the forecast period due to the rise in adoption of digital stethoscopes in pediatric intensive care units in the region. Some of the leading players in the digital stethoscope business have launched new products in North America. This is expected to boost the market in the U.S. in the next few years.
Europe is expected to hold significant share during the forecast period, owing to the rise in demand for digital stethoscopes in the region.
The global digital stethoscope market is consolidated, with the presence of small number of leading players that control majority of the share. Prominent players in the global market are implementing various strategies for market development. They are expanding their product range and carrying out merger and acquisition activities to gain revenue benefits.
Eko Devices Inc, 3M, Contec Medical Systems Co. Ltd, Rudolf Riester GmbH, American Diagnostic Corporation, Thinklabs Medical LLC, EKUORE, 3B Scientific, Telemedica Inc., AMD Global Telemedicine, and Cardionics are the major players operating in the market.
