An app that allows users to record their heart sounds has been discovered to produce recordings of such high quality that you can hear your heart beating. Doctors may be able to diagnose conditions such as heart failure or irregular heartbeat by listening to the heart with an ordinary stethoscope. Lamata's Echoes app is the first large-scale database of such sound recordings. It allows users to record a short message by placing their phone's microphone at four different locations on their chest. The sound is converted into a visual representation known as a waveform, allowing users to see and hear their heart sounds. phone to stethoscope

Users must also enter their age, gender, height, and weight and consent to have their heart sounds uploaded to the database. It now has over 100,000 recordings and will be a valuable resource for heart researchers, according to Lamata. According to David Lamata, co-founder of the app, the first 5000 users have recorded more than 100,000 recordings, which will be a valuable resource for researchers.
