ClearSteth is a tele-auscultation software solution developed by GlobalMed, designed to facilitate remote clinical assessment by transmitting high-fidelity heart, lung, and body sounds between clinicians during virtual patient exams. The software supports a range of digital stethoscopes, including Littmann 3200, RNK PCP-USB, and Thinklabs One, and is engineered to maintain the integrity and clarity of the entire soundwave curve. ClearSteth features advanced sound filtering, bandwidth adaptation, and robust encryption to ensure both diagnostic accuracy and patient privacy. The intuitive interface allows clinicians to easily connect, share, and focus on specific frequency ranges (bell or diaphragm) during auscultation, replicating the experience of in-person examinations.
