Abstract
This document discusses, among other things, using a pressure sensor to detect body sound information of a patient, such as cardiac murmurs, respiratory sounds, etc.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a pressure sensor configured to receive physiologic information from a patient;
- and
- a control circuit, coupled to the pressure sensor, configured to receive information from the pressure sensor, and to control a state of the pressure sensor, wherein the control circuit is configured to:
- detect pressure information from the patient using the physiologic information received by the pressure sensor in a first state;
- and
- detect body sound information from the patient using the physiologic information received by the pressure sensor in a second state.
