Axalton ECG Dualscope

2-headed digital stethoscope with ECG capability

Heart and lung examination with the same device

The device is patented technology with integrated artificial intelligence solutions and analytic algorithms can help doctors to detect a wide range of heart and lung malfunctions at an early stage.

Axalton ECG Dualscope is a professional medical device with the friendly aesthetics of a wearable gadget.

A familiar first line diagnostic tool

Axalton ECG Dualscope allows an in-depth lung and heart examination that was previously only available with more specialized medical tools.

Thanks to its two sensors, it is optimized for detecting and interpreting lung sounds and can simultaneously analyse the electrical condition of the heart (ECG) and heart sound (PCG).

The intuitive touch display on the sensors provides immediate feedback on the measurements, and a more detailed analysis is possible through the mobile app of Axalton ECG Dualscope.

The measured signals, as well as the results of processing, are stored in a database where they can be retrieved from or forwarded.

  • The examination methods are the same as with a normal stethoscope, Axalton ECG Dualscope is familiar for all healthcare professionals and it is easy to use

  • In a hospital environment it can offer a fast and reliable diagnosis

  • Can be used where larger ECG machines are not available

Award-Winning Design

Axalton ECG Dualscope has won the prestigious iF design award, where it was acclaimed not only for its conscious and sophisticated design, but for the remarkable cohesion of innovation and looks. 

Stethoscopes have been the attributes of medical professionals since they were invented. Worn around the neck, these objects symbolize healing, proficiency and reliability. Axalton ECG Dualscope was designed to carry on the positive associations regarding the image of the stethoscope. 

The device’s technological development was based on medical computing and body surface mapping research done in close cooperation with universities and also professors of medicine and engineering.

Hardware

Technological novelties:

  • Two simultaneous sensors: the sequence of opening of the two aortic valves and the sequence of closure of the atrial valves become visible

  • Sensors located in outer circles

  • The inner circular box contains the data logger, data transmission circuits and the battery

Professional significance

  • Cardiac abnormalities can be diagnosed with greater accuracy than before

  • Form and usage that is already familiar to physicians


Software

Technological novelties:

  • The software allows the signal of the two sensors to be displayed acoustically (even separately)

  • The signals recorded electronically in digital form are entered into a database and can be forwarded for control

  • Additional processing steps performed by the software:

  • Separation of heart sounds and noises

  • Determination of the beginning (and possibly the end) of waves on

  • Noise-free heart sounds

  • Determination of cardiac cycle duration (RR distance) from the ECG

  • Signal recorded in parallel

Professional significance

  • Display familiar to physicians

  • Supports educational goals

  • Supports telemedicine

  • The duration of PEP (pre-injection period) and LVET (left ventricular ejection time) used to characterize the mechanical function of the heart can be identified with sufficient accuracy
