Student from Poznań Medical University developed new App

18.06.2018

Piotr Danielewski – a student at the Medical University of Poznań – developed a mobile phone application that allows students to learn the basics of auscultation. The “Hear yourself” mobile app contains both physiological and pathological sounds from the lungs and heart.

Thanks to it, students can broaden their skills of correct auscultation and obtain information about the origin and characteristics of a given sound.

The application also gives them the opportunity to test the knowledge; it includes two types of questions about sound recognition and information about its etiology and characteristics. The questions are divided into two sections – cardiology and pulmonology question sets.
The application was welcomed by specialists from the Poznan university. Positive opinions were expressed by Dr Szczepan Cofta (pulmonology) and Dr Przemysław Mitkowski (cardiology).
