Have you ever wondered what your doctor hears with his stethoscope?

Since nearly 200 years, all practitioners have been performing this symbolic act because it is the most important and useful for your health. By listening to your heart and your lungs, a doctor can get an overall view of your state of health and then follow the progress of chronic diseases (bronchitis, asthma, congestive heart failure).

Passed down from professors to students since it was invented by Doctor Laennec in 1816, the practice of auscultation up to now has been essentially based on practical medical experience. However, doctors couldn't share this empiric knowledge until today. Indeed, sounds are short-lived and the doctor's ear their sole reference: however well-trained it may be, the doctor's ear will still provide a subjective interpretation.

Because it is aware that the medical community's wealth of knowledge has to be capitalized, Laennext has developed a range of auscultation services, objective, digital and to be shared, in collaboration with multidisciplinary specialists (acoustic, signal treatment, electronic). With a wireless electronic stethoscope and new software, auscultation sounds can now be recorded and analysed. Along with you, your doctor gets to know you better and starts a real quantitative follow-up of your illness, which will allow for a better treatment.

In the doctor's office or at home, you can record your auscultation sounds yourself ad thus document your medical file. By sharing these sounds with your doctor, you can then go back over your asthma attacks, your lung congestions or the acoustic signature of your heart valve. You will thus provide him with precious information that will enable him to consequently adapt treatments as a true specialist in auscultation.

LaenneXT has more to offer than the means to create a dialogue about and around your treatment - today Laennext invites you to a unique experience to live, based on the expert knowledge of your doctor and the actual facts of comprehension and sharing.
