Case Study: Steth IO achieves real-time remote cardiopulmonary care with Accellabs

Steth IO cuts telemedicine costs by $19–121 per visit with Accellabs

Steth IO, a healthcare technology company, faced the challenge of enhancing telemedicine with accurate, real-time clinical assessments to move beyond simple video calls. They partnered with vendor Accellabs for application development to build a mobile app that could function as a digital stethoscope and heart monitor, capturing and analyzing heart and lung sounds remotely.

Accellabs developed a mobile application that created a diaphragm to purify and transmit body sounds to a phone, providing both auditory and visual feedback for real-time cardiopulmonary assessment. The solution provided clinicians with clinically significant data, streamlined clinical trial data collection, and improved the standard of care in senior facilities. The results included potential cost savings of $19–$121 per telemedicine visit by reducing unnecessary emergency and inpatient facility use.
