Questions & Answers
I've tried electronic stethoscopes which aren't very good. What makes a Rhythm different?
	Electronic stethoscopes typically use a very simple method of sound detection - low-cost "telephone-grade" microphone is positioned behind a conventional stethoscope diaphragm to "listen" to the sound produced within the chestpiece cavity, like a surrogate human ear. Sound detail is lost as the sound resonates inside the chestpiece cavity, producing a very "boxy" sound. The Rhythm stethoscope Electromagnetic Diaphragm (EmD) converts body vibrations directly into an electronic signal directly at the skin surface. Signal energy is preserved, and even the slightest diaphragm displacement is detected. This patented transducer produces a far more accurate sound than a microphone as used by our competitors.
What's the difference between a Rhythm and a conventional stethoscope?
	The sound clarity. Thinklabs Electromagnetic Diaphragm (EmD) technology makes all the difference. The diaphragm is electronically active - vibrations from body sounds are converted right at the diaphragm surface to a high resolution electronic signal, so there is no loss of clarity and detail.
