Systems and methods for dictation with a digital stethoscope

A dictation stethoscope including a body having a top surface and a bottom surface opposite the top surface, the dictation stethoscope comprising:

• a first microphone positioned to capture physiological sounds of a patient, the first microphone positioned inside the body such that the first microphone translates vibrations due to movement of a diaphragm of the stethoscope into a first signal, the diaphragm located at the bottom surface;
• a second microphone positioned to capture ambient sounds of an environment surrounding the dictation stethoscope;
• and
• one or more processors configured to:
• during a stethoscope mode, obtain the first signal from the first microphone and a second signal from the second microphone, process the first signal to capture a physiological sound signal, the processing including performing noise cancellation on the first signal based on the second signal, and transmit the physiological sound signal to an external computing device and/or a speaker of the dictation stethoscope;
• and
• during a dictation mode, obtain the second signal from the second microphone, process the second signal to capture a voice signal, and transmit the voice signal to the external computing device.
