Interesting roundup, especially the wearable stethoscope approval in Australia. That shift from a diagnostic tool that's been essentially unchanged for 200 years to a continuous monitoring device feels like a genuine leap rather than just digitizing the old thing. I've spent some time around pediatric clinics and the challenge has always been getting reliable readings from fidgety kids while keeping them calm. If this device can capture quality cardiopulmonary data passively, it might actually catch transient issues that disappear the moment a traditonal stethoscope appears. The real question is going to be whetherthe added data improves outcomes or just creates more noise for clinicians to sort through.
