A team at the Indian Institute of Technology of Bombay (IIT-B) has developed a "digital stethoscope" that can listen to heart beats from a distance and record them. The stethoscope can be a game changer, given that the doctors need not to come in contact with patients to inspect them. This will drastically reduces the chances of doctors contracting transmissible diseases like coronavirus, from the patients.
