Mumbai: BMC introduces ‘Bluetooth enabled’ stethoscopes in Sion and BYL Nair Hospitals

“This would enable doctors to direct patients to place the stethoscope on desired body parts for observation and listen through their Bluetooth headphones while maintaining a safe distance in the case of infectious diseases,” said Dr Neelam Andrade, the director of major civic hospitals.

Additionally, the device will automatically record and store data of each patient via a mobile application eliminating the need for manual entries and saving time.

“This is for the first time that such a device has been introduced in Mumbai in civic hospitals,” Dr Andrade told The Indian Express.

Pilot tests of innovative startup solutions at BMC would help incubatees scale up the level of their products while simultaneously nurturing and guiding innovative entrepreneurs in the local entrepreneurial ecosystem, said officials.
