In The SpotlightThe sound of a Thinklabs Stethoscope on Superbowl XLIV The Thinklabs ds32a+ Digital Stethoscope was used in the recording of NY Jets Quarterback Mark Sanchez’ heartbeat, for the CBSCares Superbowl XLIV public service announcement on women’s heart disease. 
CBS insisted on capturing an absolutely authentic recording of Mark Sanchez’ heartbeat for their Superbowl message. They contacted cardiologists at Harvard Medical School (Massachusetts General Hospital) who recommended that CBS work with Thinklabs. Achieving the best possible heart sound quality is central to our technology and research. Helping raise awareness of women’s heart disease is central to our values. We’ve become a favorite among the broadcast community for live recording and capture of heart sounds for TV talk shows, and now for elite athletic heartbeats.  The ds32a+ has established a strong and loyal following
in the clinical and academic world, with tens of millions of physician
exams done every year with a Thinklabs stethoscope. But getting an
audience of over 90 million – that’s a first for us, and we suspect
probably a record for the number of people to simultaneously hear one
man’s heartbeat.We’d like to give a shout out to Mark Sanchez for giving his time to the cause of heart disease in women, and to CBS for raising awareness among women to learn more about the symptoms of female heart disease which can be different from those of men. Nature Medicine | |||
