Eko Turns Regular Stethoscopes Into Smart Ones

Eko Stethoscope Attachment

Digital stethoscopes get praised for their hi-tech features, but their steep price and low availability makes them really unappealing. The Eko attachment represents a far more accessible upgrade that improves the way clinicians interact with their patients and with the stethoscope itself.

Developed by Berkeley, California-based Eko Devices, this device attaches to analog stethoscopes and, using a companion app, provides additional details during the auscultation. All that clinicians have to do in order to attach Eko to their stethoscopes is to remove the stem from the tubing and place the device inbetween.

Eko comes with a button that enables medical personnel to switch between analog and digital modes. When the digital mode is selected, Eko makes use of Bluetooth to transmit recorded data to the companion iPhone app. If heart sounds happen to be hardly audible, Eko provides the option of amplifying them and recording them for later reference.

The fact that the companion app is only available on iOS is a great disappointment, as I’m pretty sure there are plenty of doctors out there who use Android devices. The mobile platform can store the name of the patient, as well as a history of the auscultations. Doctors are free to share data pertaining to a patient with other specialists, just in case they need a second opinion, and all this can be done from within the app.

Visual feedback is always important, but performing an electrocardiogram on each patient takes time. The app is capable of doing this right away, and on top of that, some thresholds are displayed in order to establish whether the patient has a normal heart rate or not. Such features are particularly useful for med students who might forget every now and then the exact physiological values.

Doctors and medical students alike can join a waitlist on the Eko Devices website in order to find out when the Eko stethoscope attachment will hit the market. Even though there has been no word on how much it will cost, Eko should be cheaper than electronic stethoscopes such as the Littmann 3100, as otherwise it would defeat its entire purpose.

Eko Devices is currently looking for business partners, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they launched a crowdfunding campaign sometime in the near future.

Microsoft Announces Windows 10

Windows 10

With rumours mounting regarding Microsoft’s next operating system, the company has now announced that it will be called Windows 10.

Windows 8 is a sorry state. Meant to be the very best operating system in terms of catering to desktop and tablet users, those using non-touchscreen devices found themselves baffled by the Windows 8′s layout. The Metro layout gave users live tiles to keep track of sports, news and the weather but it also removed the longstanding Start button which was seen as a confusing design choice given that so many users had enjoyed the Start menu’s practicality for so long. As a result, Microsoft could only do one thing to appease its users – bring the Start button back – and with the announcement of Windows 10, it seems that the company is doing just that.

Yes, bizarrely Microsoft’s next operating system won’t be called Windows 9, as previous reports led us to believe. Instead the company is naming it Windows 10 to signal what a big step this is from its predecessor. But what’s in a name? Well, other than the Start button, we will still have those live tiles just not in the way that we know them. Specifically, we’ll be able to drag and drop tiles into our Start menu, resizing them as we see fit and providing us with easier access to the software and files that we care about.

David Johnson who covers Microsoft for Forrester Research explained that “The Start Menu is perhaps the most important thing that will make the desktop experience familiar to business users, and will help it reduce resistance to its installation.” The statistics show that he is likely correct; Windows 8 powers just 13.4% PCs, meanwhile Windows 7 powers 51.2% and even Windows XP, which is no longer supported by Microsoft, powers 23.9% of PCs. So, understandably Microsoft would need to do something drastic to win casual consumers and business users over.

Is the Start menu a big enough selling point, though? The company mentioned “universal apps” that are tailored to a range of devices which is promising but there was no mention of other popular features such as the Cortana virtual assistant (think Siri, but Microsoft branded) that’s been seen on Windows Phones. Bringing Cortana to Windows 10 could be a huge draw for those left burnt by Windows 8 and it would be in Microsoft’s best interests to include it. However, we’ve yet to see all of Windows 10′s features but Microsoft says that in addition to rolling out a technical preview (an unfinished version, mainly for developers), they will also reveal more info at their Build conference in April, 2015.

Microsoft adds that they will release Windows 10 before the end of 2015. We’ll keep you posted once we know more.
