A computer reads out a converted measurement of a sound taken by the microphone and places the data on the computer data bus for further processing. The method and system provide a diagnostic information on diseases, such as certain diseases of the gastro-intestinal tract and the heart, which generate abnormal body sounds and provide assessment of patient progress during treatment of such disease entities. | |
