Media and BLUETOOTH industry influencers checked out the 3M Littmann Electronic Stethoscope Model 3200 at an event hosted by the Bluetooth
SIG during the recent CES. The SIG featured the medical device at the
reception because of its innovative use of BLUETOOTH technology, which
enables sounds to be transmitted real-time to a PC for further
analysis, attached to medical records or reviewed online by medical
professionals. The application of the stethoscope is exemplary of one
of the many benefits BLUETOOTH technology provides when it comes to
physical wellness….the ability to monitor health away from a medical
facility and therefore reduce costs of in-hospital care. The innovative
BLUETOOTH stethoscope is also being featured as a Bluetooth SIG One to
Watch. Expect to see more BLUETOOTH medical and health devices on the
market thanks to the recently adopted BLUETOOTH low energy technology
version of the Specification.
